BOISE, Idaho (AP) - Fire officials in Idaho say an 80-year-old woman died from injuries suffered during a house fire.

The Boise Fire Department says the fire at a home in Boise started around 7:30 p.m. Friday.

Authorities did not immediately identity the victim, who was initially transported to a local hospital with burns and later transferred to another medical facility in the state where she died.

A second woman inside the home at the time suffered smoke inhalation, but the 53-year-old did not require transport to a hospital. Authorities say the fire was caused by smoking while using medical oxygen.
