Fire caused an estimated $19,000 damage to a duplex in the 800 block of Nebraska Avenue Thursday night.

Fire officials said heavy smoke was rolling from the building's second story as the fire worked its way into the attic about 11:45 p.m. The second-floor unit was unoccupied, but a fire official said he was not sure who lived on the first floor.

There were no injuries; the fire was under control by 12:04 a.m., and an investigator was summoned to determine a cause.
