The Reno Fire Department responded to a fire at a duplex on East 9th Street overnight, with one firefighter suffering injuries as they battled the blaze.

It happened late Friday night according to a post from the Reno Firefighters Association on Facebook.

When firefighters arrived on scene they found a single-story duplex with flames and heavy smoke showing.

One firefighter is being treated for non-life-threatening injuries after falling through a hole inside the duplex.

The fire was quickly put out and the duplex was deemed vacant after a quick search.

The fire started spreading to vegetation outside the duplex, but that was also quickly extinguished.
