Shortly before 2:30 a.m. Thursday, the Duluth Fire Department responded to a report of a structure fire at 114 Chester Parkway.
Officials say crews found a heavily engulfed front porch on a two-story single family home.
One of the occupants was reportedly still inside the structure, while the other had safely made his way out.
Responders were able to locate the missing victim at the rear of the house.
The male victim was treated on scene by Fire Department personnel and later transported to an area hospital with minor injuries.
After confirming no other occupants were unaccounted for, the porch was pulled away from the rest of the structure, due to potential for collapse.
Firefighters were then able to bring the fire under control.
Authorities say the fire and heavy smoke caused interior damage to the home. Initial estimates are $50,000 for the structure and $10,000 for contents.
