Glad minimal damage. I'm developing a SmokeShutoff power strip designed to detect smoke and then shut off whatever is plugged into it. So if those firefighters were out on a call it would have turned off the lamp, maybe before flames erupted.
I've blogged on my SmokeShutoff.com website tons of fires my power strip could have prevented, including many fires caused by fallen lamps.
Sooner or later I'm going to find a manufacturer who recognizes the market and applications for this.

Great idea. There would be a great market for these particularly in high tech offices which leave equipment running overnight for simulations, etc.
Good luck.

Two words "three stooges". I see a promising career for him at the sheriffs office.
