INDIANAPOLIS — Investigators are looking into the cause of a fire that caused extensive damage to a house on Indianapolis' south side Tuesday morning.

Fire crews responded to the 1800 block of Bacon Street, near East Troy Avenue and Interstate 65, shortly after 3:30 a.m. for a report of a house fire.

Firefighters arrived to find heavy fire and worked for nearly 30 minutes to bring it under control.

Fire officials told 13News that a husband and wife live in the home. Only the wife was inside at the time when she woke up to heavy smoke coming from the ceiling. She was able to get out of the house with two dogs.

A smoke alarm in the house did not activate, IFD said.
