JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A family of eight, including six children, is homeless after an apartment fire in Arlington.

Investigators say a child left alone at the University Townhomes started the fire on accident while playing with matches.

The father says he tried to put the flames out with a bucket of water but that didn't work.

Firefighters arrived just after 10:30 a.m. to put the second-floor fire out within minutes.

No one was hurt.
