Dear Tobacco,

You're just as good at making Heros as you are Victims.

You see, in this case you've bred a hero and a fatility in one fell swoop.

I still think you'd be happiest if the hero had a close relationship with you too - the more the merrier, eh?

POSTED AT 11:15 AM Friday, June 2
Careless smoking is to blame for a fatal fire in the city’s southwest Thursday night.

The fire broke out in a condo complex at 4915 35th Avenue S.W. just after 11 p.m.
Before emergency crews arrived on scene, the resident manager of the complex burst into the residence and rescued a 67-year-old female from the second floor, saving her life.
Paramedics treated the woman for smoke inhalation and transported her in stable condition to the Foothills Hospital.
Her condition is not considered life threatening.
Firefighters located a second woman inside the residence.
Paramedics aggressively treated the 45-year-old unconscious woman and transported her to the Foothills Hospital in critical condition, but she did not survive.
Arson investigators say careless smoking started some bedding on fire and the flames were intensified by an oxygen system that had plastic tubing running throughout the suite.
The fire damage was confined to the bedroom and bathroom areas with smoke damage throughout the suite.
Officials say the resident manager and another man were instrumental in getting the 67-year-old woman out of the suite safely. The Fire Department will be recognizing the heroic efforts at a later date."
