A fire at an East Anchorage duplex late Friday sent a firefighter to the hospital with a "minor medical emergency," though the firefighter was subsequently released in good condition, authorities said.
Firefighters arrived at the duplex, on Pioneer Drive near the Tudor Road-Muldoon Road curve, just before midnight to find the building "heavily involved with fire venting from windows on all three sides," the Anchorage Fire Department said in a prepared statement.
The fire was under control just after midnight, the department said, and the firefighter, who wasn't identified, was the only person hurt. The adjoining unit of the duplex was not damaged, the statement said, and the fire's cause is still being investigated.
Authorities have asked the Red Cross to help the person who lived in the unit of the duplex that caught fire, the statement said.
