<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

I recently bought some scented candles from the store. I thought they were a great idea, and would make my room smell great. I lit the candle, and promptly forgot about it.

I was catching up on a tv show, and was lying in my bed watching the show when I noticed the heat started kicking in. A bit more hot than usual, but I thought the old lady who lives downstairs (I live in a 4-plex) turned up the heat. 

I looked over to find my blanket on fire. I immediately started patting down my blanket, to no avail. There were several small fires scattered across my duvet. I tried smothering the flames, but a few small patches remained resilient to my attempts to snuff the life from it. 

I ran to the washroom, determined to grab some water to put out the fire on my blanket, but I realized I left in a panic to get water, but had no receptacle for the water. No cup, but I did have a empty plastic container that once held wet naps. I filled it with water, and threw it on my blanket. The flames were doused. 

The smoke was another matter. I got the fan from the living room, turned it on high, and opened my windows. My sheets are slightly damaged, but still usable. The blanket is slightly crispy. This happened about 10 minutes ago, I'm writing this from the couch. My bed is wet, and covered in burnt blanket.
<bot>: Lit a candle. Forgot about it. Lit my blanket on fire, and am now sleeping on the couch. Be candle aware. Never stop paying attention to a candle. When you stop paying attention, that's when they strike.
