Careless Smoking - the Cause of a New Year's Eve House Fire

"Careless smoking" was the cause of a New Year's Eve house fire in Concord that forced the evacuation of five people, fire marshals have determined.

One of those rescued, 68-year-old Luz Franco, remained in fair condition in the burn unit at Staten Island University Hospital, Ocean Breeze, a hospital spokeswoman said Saturday.

Firefighters had found her laying unconscious in a second-floor bedroom. Firefighters rescued Ms. Franco's daughter, son-in-law and two granddaughters by ladder through another bedroom window.
