Electric blanket catches fire

Northern Daily Leader, NSW

ON SATURDAY night Nigel and Karen King were enjoying dinner oblivious to two firefighters at the next table who were hastily called away to a fire.

Fifteen minutes later the couple received a call. Their home was ablaze.

The young couple is still coming to terms with the destruction of the family house, car and priceless possessions including photos, trophies, a wedding dress and jewellery.

According to fire investigations the blaze ignited in the main bedroom about 7.20pm and may have been caused by a faulty electric blanket.
