FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- A fire at the $6.9 million home owned by Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill was started by a child playing with a cigarette lighter in a bedroom, a fire official said Thursday.

"It was an accidental fire," Davie Fire Marshal Robert Taylor told The Associated Press.

He did not provide the age of the child, or the amount of damage caused by the fire. Hill was at the Dolphins' practice for the upcoming regular season finale against the Buffalo Bills when the fire broke out. He left practice when he got word about the fire.
