Nick Nolte escapes burning home in Malibu The 67-year-old actor scraped his arm and inhaled some smoke but was not hospitalized, Los Angeles County fire Inspector Sam Padilla said.
"He is seeing his private physician" for the injuries, he said.
The fire was reported at 11:34 a.m. at Nolte's secluded Bonsall Drive home. The electrical fire started in the living room, and Nolte apparently tried to put out the fire before firefighters arrived, Padilla said.
Televised reports said firefighters found Nolte outside the house with a hose but Padilla said he did not have any details. He didn't know if anyone else was in the home.
It took firefighters about 10 minutes to douse the blaze, which damaged part of the house, Padilla said.AP

Bening was at the AFI event, which screened 12 classic American films in a single night, to introduce "American Beauty," the Academy Award winner in which she starred with Kevin Spacey.
Jim Carrey, there to introduce "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," walked the media gauntlet with girlfriend Jenny McCarthy, who commented, "People are going to be relieved a little bit that there is going to be some help. But then there is the other side that thinks the rich are only going to get richer."
Added Carrey, "They will figure out a way to consume it. ... I think it's a good thing, temporarily. I don't know in the long run. Who knows? It's kind of a strange thing to take taxpayers' money and be doing that kind of thing with. I don't trust anybody."
Carrey's fellow Canadian, "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery" actor Mike Myers, was somewhat reluctant when asked to do some bailout banter.Gwen ifill wheelchair "I have made some comedies and that's how you know me, so . . .

"You have to care about something other than what's going to make you money," said Morris L. Reid, managing director of Westin Rinehart, a firm that does brand strategy for public figures. "You have to be charitable. It shows that you care about someone other than yourself. It also shows that you are in touch with the average American's needs and plights."
With no shortage of charitable organizations (there are more than 1,000,000, according to GuideStar), and many of them reaching out to celebs for their help, choosing which causes to support is a tough decision, said actress Julianne Moore.
