A 58-year-old Peoria woman suffered serious burns to her upper body after her oxygen tank exploded while she was smoking in her bathroom Tuesday morning, authorities said.

The Peoria Fire Department received a call at 8:36 a.m. of a fire near 89th Avenue and Bell Road.

The woman and her husband were outside the burning house when Peoria Police Officer Debra Kemp arrived. Kemp entered the burning home, armed with a fire extinguisher, to put out the fire, which was contained to the bathroom. Firefighters arrived soon after to put out the blaze.

The cause of the fire was due to an explosion of the woman's oxygen tank, Davies said.

The woman had several burn injuries that were treated on scene and was flown to an area hospital, according to the Peoria Fire Department.

Kemp suffered smoke inhalation, Davies said. She was transported to a different hospital and according to Davies, she was doing fine.

The husband, 67, had no injuries and was the one who called 911.
