Residents file suit against apartment complex

A class-action lawsuit has been filed against the owners of a Noblesville apartment complex after a June 10 fire destroyed more than 20 units and multiple cars. The flames broke out in a carport at Deer Chase Apartments, and fire crews had a hard time getting enough water pressure from complex hydrants. The suit says investigators discovered someone had partially closed the main water line to the complex. The lawsuit, on behalf of 80 to 100 residents, says apartment management had an obligation to make sure the hydrants were in working order.
