Nolte's House Burns

Nick Nolte's house caught fire today and he suffered injuries.

The call to L.A. County Fire came in today at 11:34 AM. When firefighters arrived, the Malibu house was burning and Nolte was trying to put the blaze out himself. We're told the fire started in his office -- some sort of electrical malfunction. Nolte's kitchen and living room also suffered minor damage.

Nolte suffered smoke inhalation and abrasions. He was treated on the scene and plans to see his doctor today.

As for the house -- there's about $500,000 in content damage, and approximately $3 million damage to the structure.

Was Nick Nolte trying to sell his house, and could not find any buyers. - Instead, Nick does arson, ao he can get insurance money. - I hope this is not the case, however, in this bad economy, this scenaro could be a possibility.

Nick Nolte was not getting those movie deals. He had to do something.

"Electrical malfunction" translated out of Nolte-ese -- Fell asleep smoking after downing two bottles of Scotch.

Hey #6 - I doubt he burnt his house down, WITH HIS FREAKIN DOG STILL INSIDE, YOU IDIOT. He has had that dog for 12 years. What an ass to say such a thing!!!
