Firefighters were called out around one-thirty Tuesday afternoon for reports of a structure fire at 706 Meadow Avenue in Charleroi.  Charleroi Fire Chief Bobby Whiten tells WJPA that several fire departments were called in to help fight the blaze which broke out in a three story duplex.  Whiten says the individual who lived in the apartment where the fire started suffered minor smoke inhalation and was taken by ambulance to a local hospital.  Whiten says the cause of the fire was electrical in nature and has been ruled accidental.  He says crews were able to knock it down in just about fifteen minutes.  In addition to damages in the apartment where the fire started, Whiten says the two ground-floor apartments sustained smoke and water damage.
