The fire broke in the Stone Lake Apartments at around 9:00 pm after which the 911 received multiple calls reporting fire. The fire was reported to have started at the upper story of the apartment engulfing the entire floor.

Soon after the Indianapolis Fire Department reached the site of the fire, power was shut off the entire structure to ensure safety. Fortunately, the brave fire-fighters were able to control the fire in 31 minutes. No injuries or deaths were reported. However, the reason for such raging fire is still unknown and under investigation.

The fire fighter were also successful in saving 2 dogs from the fire, however, a cat is reported to have perished.
