Candle lights woman's hair on fire...

A flame from a candle inside a Port St. John home somehow ignited a woman's hair as she tried to blow it out, which then caused a fire that spread to her home.

Police said the fire happened at about 1 a.m. at the three-bedroom-home. A woman inside the home tried to blow out a candle but it ignited her home, according to the report. The fire then spread through the house.

"From what I'm told a woman in the home was trying to blow the candle out when it got on some combustibles," said Bob Thirkelson, a battalion chief with Brevard County Fire Rescue.

Thirkelson said the woman's hair caught fire but she managed to put it out. But the fire started to spread from that point on. Five family members got out of the house and were not injured. The fire caused about $20,000 in damage to the home. Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.
