Child hurt in apartment fire on Indy’s northwest side

IFD battles apartment fire on Indy’s west side

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A child and an adult were hurt in an apartment fire early Thursday morning on the northwest side of Indianapolis, firefighters said.

Crews from the Indianapolis and Pike Township fire departments were dispatched around 3 a.m. to a large fire at the Woodbrook Apartments near 52nd Street and Georgetown Road.

Smoke and fire forced several people living in the apartment building to evacuate.

Firefighters say both people hurt in the fire are expected to recover.

It’s unclear how many apartments were damaged or if anyone was displaced.

The cause of the fire has not been determined.
