AN electric blanket sparked a fire drama at a house in Deighton.

A young woman had accidentally switched the blanket on when she left for work early yesterday morning.

Her mum arrived back at the house on Victoria Street at 12.45pm yesterday and saw smoke coming out of the bedroom window.

A West Yorkshire Fire And Rescue Service spokesman said: “It looks like the bed had been smouldering for hours and had caused a lot of smoke damage to the bedroom.’’
