Firefighters arrived on scene to find light smoke coming from the front of a 1-story duplex and made entry into one unit to began an offensive attack on the fire. A primary search was completed and the utilities were secured.

The landlord was notified and both residents were asked to stay elsewhere until a certified electrician could make necessary repairs. Crews from Stations 20, 23, 26, 18 and 40 responded to this incident.
