BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) A Baton Rouge Fire Department spokesman say a dog playing with a pillow too close to a space heater is to blame for a house fire.

Spokesman Curt Monte told The Advocate of Baton Rouge that firefighters were called around 4 a.m. Thursday to find a bedroom in flames. The fire contained to the bedroom was put out in less than 10 minutes.

Monte said the two people who were home at the time were not injured, but the house received about $10,000 in fire and smoke damage.
