| Thankfully, the combination of strong fire prevention education and a large amount of new construction results in few structure fires in Fishers. However, each year thunderstorms create inclement weather and lots of lighting across Hamilton County. This fire started with a lighting strike during a fast-moving storm on May 18, 2006. The storm moved through quickly leaving sunny skies as the smoke still rose from the home. Numerous neighbors came out to see what all the commotion was about. |

 |
||
| Engine 92 arrived on scene as the first-due Ladder Company and setup it's Aerial and ground ladders to aid with ventilation to the attic. 92's powerful stabilizers lifted the truck right off the pavement. |
||
 |
||
| Engine crews knock down the remaining hotspots on the exterior wall. | ||
 |
||
| Firefighters swap air bottles on the lawn after their initial entry. | ||
 |
||
| Engine 94 was the first-in Engine company. They dropped a 5" supply line to the nearest hydrant and setup dual 1 3/4" attack lines for the interior and exterior. |
||
 |
||
| E-94 and the "Fightin' Fours of Midtown," were the only Engine Company required to provide water as the fire was knocked down quickly and without significant extension to the rest of the home. |
||
 |
||
| Sunshine creates a glow behind the remaining white smoke of the knocked-down fire. | ||
 |
||
| Engine 95 arrived as the second Engine Company | ||
 |
||
| Crews from Ladder 91 use a long pike pole to begin the overhaul and search out potential hot spots in the walls. |
