INDIANAPOLIS — At least six people, including a firefighter, were injured in a house fire possibly caused by an explosion Friday morning on the west side of Indianapolis, according to the Wayne Township Fire Department.
Firefighters responded to the fire around 8:15 a.m. in the 500 block of North Rybolt Avenue and found the house fully engulfed.
A spokesperson with the Wayne Township Fire Department said four people inside or near the house were transported to area hospitals in serious condition. One other person refused treatment.
A firefighter was also hospitalized with injuries that are not considered serious.
