Authorities: Smoking, oxygen caused fire

RENO (AP) " Investigators say an early morning fire at a Reno apartment complex was caused by someone smoking while using a medical oxygen device.

The fire at the Rosewood Park Apartments broke out around 1 a.m. Thursday in a downstairs apartment and spread quickly through the eight-unit complex.

Investigators say an explosion heard by residents appears to have been the oxygen tank exploding.

Witnesses say some residents jumped from second-story windows and balconies.
