According to a report from WISHTV, a raging fire tore through an Acton, Indiana, home early Monday evening, displacing a mother and son.
Indianapolis Fire Department (IFD) crews were dispatched to the 11000 block of House Street at around 5 p.m., a few blocks east of Acton Elementary School, near U.S. 421 in southeastern Marion County.
On arrival to the home, the IFD found heavy flames shooting from the roof, leaving a cloud of dense black smoke visible for several miles around.
The mother and adult son escaped from the structure unharmed. They later told the IFD they heard a loud “pop” before the house began filling with fire and smoke.
It took IFD crews about half an hour to bring the fire under control.
IFD did not report any injuries.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
