http://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/fire/boy-using-candle-to-find-dog-destroys-st-petersburg-home-in-fire-killing/1163754ST. PETERSBURG — A 15-year-old boy who used a candle to look underneath a bed for his dog started a blaze that destroyed the home and killed the dog, authorities said.
Fire officials said the candle caught the bed on fire. The fire spread and destroyed the house, said St. Petersburg Fire Rescue Lt. Joel Granata.
The boy suffered minor smoke inhalation while trying to fight the fire with a garden hose and was taken to All Children's Hospital, Granata said. The dog was found dead in the bedroom where the boy was looking. No one else was injured.
Two adults and four kids were left homeless after the fire at 4734 Eighth Ave. S. The fire was reported about 9:07 p.m. and was extinguished shortly after 9:30 p.m., Granata said.
The American Red Cross was assisting those affected by the fire, he said.
