INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Two families have been displaced and a dog was seriously injured after a fire broke out in a garage near the city’s far east side, according to the Indianapolis Fire Department (IFD).
At 1:59 p.m. Saturday, IFD and Lawrence Fire Department firefighters were dispatched to the 10000 block of Penwell Way after a heavy fire broke out in a garage.
