ACT FIRE & Rescue is advising the community to only keep bedding on top of active electric blankets and to avoid leaving them unattended after an electric blanket caused a fire in Holder.
Residents self-evacuated the apartment on Hynes Crescent and called emergency services, who were able to contain the fire to the one room.
