RALEIGH

A fire attributed to an electrical problem forced two people from a single-story duplex house at 902 Chaney Road early Thursday, and one firefighter was injured, the fire department reported.

A neighbor reported the fire at 1:22 a.m., the department said.

Firefighters found smoke and fire coming from the back of the building when they arrived and had the fire under control about 20 minutes later, a report of the incident said.

Officials said one firefighter was taken to a hospital with an arm injury, but they did not disclose details.
