A fire Tuesday afternoon at a residence on Howey Drive and Van Horne was originally considered suspicious but an investigation has revealed it was caused by accident.

Sudbury Police say a lit candle had been blown over by the wind through an open window and the flames quickly caught a nearby curtain.

The homeowner was able to get out without any injuries.
