An electrical fire caused an estimated $2000 in damage at a home in downtown Juneau Saturday afternoon.

Capital City Fire/Rescue Assistant Chief Ed Quinto said the fire on Carrol Way started around an electrical plug in one of the home’s bedrooms. He said the homeowner put out the fire with a fire extinguisher and kept it from spreading.

All damage was limited to the bedroom.
