The fire, which was electrical in nature, began at approximately 11:30 a.m. in the living room of the spacious home. Nolte, who had broken a window to escape, was using a hose in an attempt to put out the fire himself when firefighters arrived. No one else was at the house at the time. Nolte went to his private physician to have his injuries treated. Damage to the home was estimated at $500,000. It’s believed the fire may have started due to a faulty printer. The actor’s publicist, Arnold Robinson, said there was no structural damage to the house. ”Mr. Nolte is grateful to the Malibu fire department and sheriff’s department for their quick response and assistance,” he said.
