Smoking + Oxygen Tank = Fire

Four elderly people were hospitalized after a fire ripped through at an assisted-living center in Farmington Hills and forced the seniors out of their units.

One of residents was reportedly smoking near her oxygen tank. It exploded.
The Baptist Manor off of 13 Mile Road between Middlebelt and Orchard Lake roads was evacuated.

Police said the four victims suffered from smoke inhalation. They’ll be okay.

Farmington Hills firefighters battled the flames for hours.
