Woman's Hair Catches Fire, Spreads To House

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- A St. Augustine woman is in stable condition after her hair caught on fire, then her house.

Ollie Jones' daughter said her mother was reading by candlelight when the fire started. The candle apparently fell from a shelf and lit her hair on fire.

Neighbors were able to help douse her head and she was taken to the hospital.

Firefighters have put out the fire, which burned about 30 percent of the house.

Obviously she had the candle in one hand, a bent spoon in the other, and the book was a cover story.
