FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): Fort Wayne Arson Investigators have determined that Sunday’s house fire on McKee Street was accidental. According to the Fort Wayne Fire Department the fire was caused by a child playing with a lighter.

The blaze broke out just before 8:00 p.m., Sunday evening. When crews arrived they found a four-year-old hiding from the flames in a first-floor entertainment center.

The fire was contained to an upstairs bedroom in about 10 minutes. Investigators say the damage to the home was moderate, but a woman and the four-year-old were treated for minor smoke inhalation.

·Secure lighters and matches away from children.
