An unattended candle likely caused a fire that damaged a West Central home and chased an occupant from the house uninjured.

Firefighters were called to the house in the 3600 block of W. Princeton about 8 pm on Friday and quickly contained the fire. Fire damage was reported to the kitchen, dining and laundry areas with smoke damage throughout the house.

One occupant and pets had evacuated the home prior to the arrival of firefighters. Damage was estimated at $15,000.
