INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - A two-alarm fire was reported around 9:45 Tuesday night in the 1300 block of White Ash Drive in Greenwood, Ind.

Firefighters say a car was left in gear and rolled backward into a large electrical box. The crash sent a surge of electricity into four nearby homes starting small electrical fires; the car then burst into flames.

Crews were able to stop the fires in the homes before any major damage was done.

Additional firefighters had to be called in due to the size of the incident.
