Indianapolis (IN) Firefighters Cope with Fire and Rain

A heavy rain caused fires and floods in Indianapolis. Details from indystar.com:

The fast, heavy downpour flooded streets and kept emergency workers busy.

The Indianapolis Fire Department received 205 calls and went on 95 runs between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. Twenty of the calls were for water rescues, mostly submerged cars, and 16 were for fires reported by residents who, in most cases, believed lightning struck their houses.

Capt. Rita Burris said no rescues had to be made of people in cars and none of the home were on fire.

But she said residents who think their home is hit by lightning should call 911 and evacuate immediately.
