One Fishers family will not have a Merry Christmas after a fire erupted in their home, but one piece of good news – there were no injuries.  The home is located in the Haig Point neighborhood, just southwest of 116th Street and Hoosier Road.

Firefighters received the call a little after 9:00pm Christmas Eve. According to Fishers Fire officials, heavy flames from the attic were showing when fire crews arrived.  Firefighters quickly attacked the blaze and contained the brunt of the fire to the attic area.

Investigators believe a bird nest atop a flood light may have been the cause.   No damage estimates are yet available.
