INDIANAPOLIS — Three families were displaced, and two firefighters were hurt after a building fire tore through a far east side apartment complex Tuesday morning.
The fire broke out at the Spanish Oaks Apartments near East 38th Street and North Mitthoefer Road just after 8 a.m., according to the Indianapolis Fire Department.
Firefighters from Indianapolis and Lawrence departments responded to the scene, finding heavy smoke pushing out of the building’s rear and fire on both floors and in the attic.
All occupants evacuated the building before crews arrived. None of the residents were hurt, though IFD says two firefighters sustained “slight” injuries.
The cause of the fire was still under investigation.
