CALEDONIA, Wis. (AP) -- Caledonia police say a man who was careless with his "smoking materials" has died after a fire started in his living room and filled the room with smoke.

Police say the victim was 77-year-old Duane J. Rymenams. He died Monday night following a fire that began about 7 p.m.

Caledonia Fire Chief Jeff Buenger says Rymenams was on oxygen, and the oxygen system caused the flames to spread quickly.

Firefighters arrived on the scene just after the fire started. A Journal Times of Racine report (http://bit.ly/LR5CWH ) says they pulled Rymenams from his kitchen and performed CPR, but he died at a hospital.

Buenger says a dog in the home was taken to a veterinary hospital with apparent breathing problems. It's expected to survive.
