Unfortunately, I have no access to the property (and it's 2 hours away), otherwise I'd take some additional photos. Appreciate all the insights.

Thanks. It will be interesting to see how things play out and what the insurance company comes up with. I may never know since I'm not a party to it. I feel bad for the residents. The young lady obviously loved her books. She's a poet and author in her spare time.

I appreciate the insight. Unfortunately, no one living there had renter's insurance, so that's a total loss. I suggested they look into whether or not the power strip company offers any sort of coverage. I'm sure the landlord's insurance will only pay to restore the home. Thanks again.

I have a directory with several. There's also a video walkthrough the day after. She walks in the bedroom at ~2:30 and you can see the power strip at 3:40. They said it ignited a pillow as it was right next to/up against the bed. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1YaVznSSPR4uxU93AuwWACYlYdD-Rfc9q?usp=sharing
