Investigators have determined that a candle left burning in a master bedroom caused more than $50,000 damage to Wai'anae home early this morning, firefighters said.

A teenager was the only one home when she woke up at 8:30 a.m. and smelled smoke, said HFD Capt. Earle Kealoha. No one was injured from the fire on Ho'olo'okahi St. Damage was estimated at $55,000.
