 JW> That thought crossed my mind; he claims the blanket was so old the

From what I recall happened at the time, he had the blanket on maximum
power, but (presumably in his sleep) he scrunched it up into a compact
mass at the foot of the bed, whereupon it steadily increased in
temperature until it spontaneously ignited.

Kevin appears to have a strong pyromaniacal bent, having already, at
various times, lost a house, a couple of toaster ovens, articles of
clothing and computers to fires.  I have seen him produce huge flames
when flambéing a pan with 75% alcohol content rum essence.  That
ignited a tea-towel hanging by the stove, which I gathered was not an
unusual event.
