INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — One adult and five children were displaced Wednesday afternoon after a fire broke out at their east side home.

Indianapolis Fire Department was dispatched to a rental home in the 2600 block of East Michigan Street after a heavy fire broke out at 12:46 p.m., forcing everyone inside to evacuate, a social media post from IFD said.
