Firefighters fought a house fire in Carmel Tuesday morning.

The house is at 121st and Shelborne Road.

Firefighters found the fire when they smelled smoke about 3:30 a.m.

When firefighters arrived, flames were shooting through the roof of the two-story home.

The fire became a two-alarm fire -- which means more help was called to the scene -- because it was so warm outside, the home was back a long gravel lane and because of the size of the house.

A family member said the owners of the home are in a nursing home and have not lived in it for about a year.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

No one was hurt.
