Fire investigators believe children playing with a cigarette lighter started a fire at a Nicholasville townhome. 

Crews were called to the Pleasant Grove townhomes just before 8:00 Saturday night.  Investigators say a four and five year old were playing with a lighter that caught a mattress on fire.  Everyone made it out safely, but the building was heavily damaged. 

There's no word on when the family will be able to move back in.
