Overheated computer equipment started a fire Thursday at an East Side apartment complex that suffered more than $80,000 in damage, El Paso Fire Department officials said.
The fire at the Camino Real Apartments, 2801 N. Yarbrough, started at about 9 p.m. when the equipment overheated and came in contact with paper, Lt. Mario Hernandez said. No injuries were reported, but flames engulfed two apartment units.
You know you're going to need a power strip or UPS for your computer. Why not use one that will shut the system down if it detects smoke?
