The Shawnee Fire Department is investigating what caused a late-night duplex fire.

Firefighters were called to 12510 West 62nd Street around 11 Sunday night. The address is just northwest of Shawnee Mission Parkway and Long Avenue.

Arriving firefighters reported fire showing from a lower-level window.

Fire Marshal Corey Sands says, "No one was home at the time of the fire."

"Fire damaged one bedroom, but there is smoke damage throughout the home," according to Fire Marshal Sands.

The fire was under control in about 15 minutes and the cause remains under investigation.

Firefighters from the Overland Park Fire Department's station in Merriam assisted at the scene.
