TMZ is reporting that Nick Nolte suffered minor injuries after his house caught on fire today. Fire fighters were called to his Malibu home this morning and when they got there, they found Nolte trying to contain the blaze himself.

There was approximately $3 million in structual damages as well as $500,000 in damanges to his possessions. Nolte suffered smoke inhalation as well as a minor abrasion to his hand when he broke a window in an effort to escape.

The cause of the blaze is due to an electrial malfunction that started in his office.
