The Morgantown Fire Department was dispatched to a first-alarm structure fire at about 11:30 a.m. Sunday at 608 Arlington Ave., a two-story duplex rental home.
Crews arrived to find a small fire on the porch, and another small fire at the bottom of the stairway. The fire was quickly brought under control in less than 15 minutes.
The fire caused an estimated $8,000 in damages. The building is owned by Stephen Sinclair, of Fairmont, and had one occupant and one visitor in the duplex at the time of the fire. No one was injured. Officers from the department’s Fire Marshal’s Division are investigating the cause of the fire.
