Water had to be shuttled to fire fighters containing a vacant home fire early Wednesday morning in rural Westfield.
Officials said the fire started around 1:45 a.m. at 17728 Eagletown Rd. Westfield Fire Chief Joe Lyons said fire fighters immediately began fighting the flames from the outside “because of heavy fire conditions.”
“The structure began to collapse 14 minutes after the crews arrived,” Lyons said.
Sheridan and Zionsville fire departments were called to the scene to help. Because there were no hydrants in the rural area water had to be shuttled in. Lyons said the cause of the fire is under investigation.
