No one was seriously hurt after a young child playing with a lighter set fire to curtains in a Carpentersville basement around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, firefighters said.

One female occupant was treated on the scene for a minor hand injury she suffered while exiting the house. The family of five that lives in the home was able to get out by the time firefighters arrived.

Firefighters were able to put out the small fire on the 100 block of Ensenada Drive in about five minutes. While the fire was confined to the bedroom where it started, smoke damaged the entire house.
