A structure fire on Ketchum Road prompted a swift response from the Monroe Fire Protection District (MFD) yesterday, with assistance from several other departments. Emergency calls were placed around 4:20 p.m. when a neighbor noticed smoke coming from a home. Firefighters promptly arrived to tackle the flames, which were visible from the rear of the residence’s roof, according to
FOX59
.
Firefighting efforts were complicated due to the home’s placement along a narrow lane impeding access for larger apparatuses, leading to a temporary closure of the road as crews established a dump tank to perform water shuttle operations in the rural setting, the incident detailed in coverage by

. While the home’s owner was not present during the outbreak of the blaze no injuries were confirmed, the origin of the inferno is currently under investigation.
Collaboration across several agencies was pivotal in the control and eventual extinguishment of the fire, with MFD being supported by Marshall Township Volunteer Fire Department, EMS Ellettsville Fire Department, Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, and Duke Energy, which the
Monroe Fire Protection District
acknowledged via a social media post.
