Firefighters had been told that a woman had poured gasoline on the porch and side of the duplex and set it on fire before leaving the scene.

A news release said an unidentified person on a bicycle had stopped and put out the fire on the porch while that on the side of the residence apparently went out.

Damage was reported minimal and there were no injuries, the release said.
