Two children playing with a lighter started a two-alarm fire this afternoon in a Roslindale townhouse, the Boston Fire Department said.

The children, ages 4 and 6, both escaped injury after one called 911, said department spokesman Steve MacDonald.

The blaze broke out at 3 p.m. in a two-story building at 46 June St. It started in a second-floor bedroom. One firefighter was taken to Brigham and Women's Hospital with chest pains.

Damage was estimated at $175,000, MacDonald said. Investigators are still on the scene.
