Three people are recovering from smoke inhalation after a mobile home fire on Dakota near Marks in Fresno.
A 5-year-old girl apparently started it Monday night while playing with a lighter.
Battalion Chief Ron Stogdell with the Fresno Fire Department said, "The small daughter was playing with a lighter in the bedroom and ignited some bedding material on fire. The mother had a fire extinguisher -- attempted to put the fire out -- the fire extinguisher wouldn't work."
The mother and the daughter and a neighbor who helped them get out suffered smoke inhalation.
The family's dog was later found dead.
