An arson fire destroyed a vacant duplex in East Toledo last night, and authorities are investigating two teenage boys who may be involved.

Toledo firefighters found 447 East Broadway engulfed in flames when they arrived about 10:25 p.m. Accelerants were poured throughout the house, but the blaze is believed to have started in the back of the building on the first floor, Investigator Michael Smith said.

No one was hurt in the fire and no charges have been filed.
