Bloody hell, another electric blanket fire? These things are death traps. RIP Jack the dog, poor wee fella.
So sad, they've lost everything and their dog too. Can't imagine how devastating that would be. 😢
Electric blankets are for old people who can't afford heating. Just get a decent duvet ffs.
cope, duvets exist for a reason. Electric blankets are dangerous boomer tech.
why does this always happen to renters? landlords need to get proper fire alarms in these places
landlords are useless but can't blame them for everything. Still, tragic.

Dog got a final cuddle before passing. That broke me. Rest easy Jack 🐾
that line got me proper choked up. Poor doggo.
Used to work in fire safety. Electric blankets are the silent killers. Check the wires, people. Overheating is real.
Yeah nah, get stuffed saying it's their fault. Could happen to anyone. Just tragic.
right. Last time I used one I woke up sweating like a pig and the blanket was scorched. Never again.
saying it's their fault mate, just saying people need to be aware. Most don't think about it until it happens.
Anyone know if there's a givealittle or something? Those poor guys need help.
There's a few fundraisers popping up, just search their names. Hope they get sorted.
ffs Hawke's Bay, another fire. What is it with this region and electrical faults?
hastings always getting the shit news. rip jack, run free buddy
facts. insurance won't cover shit either if the blanket is old
