Cigarette causes life-threatening burns LYNNWOOD -- A woman suffered life-threatening burns early Sunday after she fell asleep while smoking.The woman's husband called 911 about 12:20 a.m. and firefighters rushed to the couple's home in the Norma Beach area north of Lynnwood, Snohomish County Fire District 1 spokeswoman Leslie Hynes said. The fire started when the woman's pajamas apparently caught fire after she fell asleep while smoking in bed. Her husband was watching TV in another room. The fire didn't spread anywhere else in the house, Hynes said. Medics drove the woman to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Her condition was not known today. Fires started by smoking materials are the leading cause of fire deaths in the country, Hynes said. Just a few weeks ago Joanne Lamb perished inside her Edmonds home in a fire caused by an improperly discarded cigarette. |

Cigarett causes burns.. Lets word it diffrently. Causes injuries. Woman falls asleep while driving and THE CAR crashed. Must be the cars fault.. When will reporters learn, people are the cause for personal things happening to themselves..not inatimate objects. I dont like smoking but the cigarett did exactly what is is uupposed to do BURN.. Woman caused her own injuries.
