St. Petersburg fire officials say a candle that had been used in a prayer ritual is to blame for a fire this morning at 3947 38th Ave. N.
Firefighters were able to contain the fire to a living room in one of the one-story duplexes at the address, but all of the contents in the living room were destroyed, said Lt. Joel Granata of St. Petersburg Fire & Rescue.
No one was injured in the 9:51 a.m. blaze, Granata said. The two adults and two teenagers in the apartment affected were relocated, he said.
The candle had been left unattended, Granata said.
