The Fishers Fire Department says a candle left unattended was the cause of a Geist-area house fire early Wednesday morning.  One 21-year-old male was seriously injured and taken to Eskanazi Hosipital, but Fishers Fire officials say the injuries are not life threatening.  One other person suffered burns, but was treated and released from the hospital.

The home is located at 13164 Highland Springs Drive, near 96th Street and OIio Road.

The candle ignited the blaze in what is described as a “bonus room” above the home’s garage, according to a fire department news release.

The homeowner shut the door of the room where the fire started, which contained the blaze until firefighters arrived.
