An electric blanket left unattended Saturday started a fire that caused $100,000 worth of damage to a house north of Downtown and displaced two brothers, a Tucson fire official said Monday.
No one was injured in the fire, which was reported just before 6:30 p.m. when several people called 911 after seeing smoke in the 100 block of West Adams Street, near North Stone Avenue and West Drachman Street, said Capt. Paul McDonough, a Tucson Fire Department spokesman.

Maybe electric blankets should be plugged into one of my Smoke Shutoff power strips. If you're asleep and overcome by smoke, maybe the fire would go out if power was cut to the blanket.
