Woman Burned When Candle Ignites Spray Paint Fumes

COLUMBUS, Ind. (AP) _ Authorities say a central Indiana woman suffered flash burns when a candle ignited spray paint fumes inside a closet.

Columbus Fire Department Capt. Mike Wilson says Sabrina Frasier told firefighters she was painting the closet Monday when the odor intensified and she decided to light a candle. Wilson tells The Republic (http://bit.ly/1rjTF2U) that the paint vapors ignited when she re-entered the closet carrying the candle.

Frasier was taken to the burn unit at Eskenazi (es-kah-NAH'-zee) Hospital in Indianapolis, where she was listed in good condition.

Fire damage was limited to the closet.
