Homeowners of a residence in the west end of St. John's say a cigarette butt started a small fire Tuesday evening.

Crews were called to the Burgeo Street home shortly before 8 p.m. to reports of a fire.

According to a homeowner, someone threw a cigarette into a flower pot.

The butt wasn't out and lit a stroller on the porch on fire, as well as the siding.

Firefighters put the blaze out before it spread to the interior of the home.

No injuries were reported.
