Officials with the Austin Fire Department say a house fire in South Austin Wednesday morning was caused by an occupant smoking cigarettes near an open oxygen cylinder.
Firefighters responded to the home on Mockingbird Lane around 10:30 a.m. Fire crews had to work around some fallen power lines, but had it out in about 20 minutes.
No one was hurt, but two people were taken to the hospital to be evaluated. One person suffered minor injuries.
With the drought, officials are urging people to keep the area near their homes clear of brush so fires don't spread.
Damages are estimated at $75,000 in structure and $50,000 contents.
