A duplex in the 2100 block of Oak St. suffered about $150,000 in damage when a fire broke out in the home late Friday afternoon - but it could have been worse.

"A fast attack knocked the flames down and stopped the fire from spreading to the other side of the duplex," Prince George Fire Rescue Asst. Chief Thad Kennedy said.

The home's occupants were able to escape without injury but ambulance personnel checked over two firefighters for heat exhaustion.

PGFR was called to the scene at 4:30 p.m.
