Indianapolis (IN) firefighters responded Friday to a fire in a “vacant” double residence.

A squatter told firefighters that he was inside the structure asleep when the fire occurred. He awakened to the smell of smoke and escaped the building on his own. The man was transported to a local medical facility with high levels of carbon monoxide in his system.
