The Abilene Fire Department responded to reports of smoke coming from a home in the 1300 block of Sycamore at about 8:00 Monday night.
Crews were able to quickly extinguish the fire and escort the woman to safety. The woman told fire officials that she lit a candle after her electricity went out and left it unattended on a shelf in the hallway.
There were no injuries, and there is currently no estimate on damage to the house.
