WASHINGTON — A Suitland home caught fire Sunday morning after a cat knocked over a lit candle.
The cat accidentally knocked over a candle on a mattress, setting fire to a home on the 2100 block of DuPont Ave. in Suitland.
Prince George’s County Fire said there were no injuries reported, but the family will have to find another place to live in for a while.
The flames caused $50,000 in damage.
