A woman is being treated in Cobb County for serious burn injuries from a fire that started while she was smoking in bed near an oxygen tank, according to a report.

Frances Gable of Rome fell asleep Thursday morning while holding a cigarette, the Rome News-Tribune reported. She was awakened by the flames.

The Rome Fire Department responded with five engines and got the fire under control quickly, officials said.

She later was taken to the Cobb WellStar Hospital burn center in Austell.
