Person dies after apartment fire

GREENWOOD, Ind. (WISH) — A person died in an apartment fire in Greenwood on Tuesday afternoon, authorities say.

Information about the person was not shared in a news release issued Tuesday night from Tyler Swardson, the public information officers with Greenwood Fire Department.

Firefighters were called just after 4:45 p.m. Tuesday to the fire in the 400 block of Southbridge Drive. That’s in the Cambridge Square Apartments, located off County Line Road southeast of its intersection with Madison Avenue.

A caller, who was visiting the apartment and unable to reach the occupant, said the hallway was full of smoke.

Firefighters arrived at the single-story apartment building to find no signs of fire from two sides of the building, Swardson says.

“During the search and investigation, firefighters located a subject in the apartment where the fire was reported. That individual was transported to Eskenazi Hospital, where they was pronounced deceased by hospital staff,” the release said.
