This is very common problem....as per the above explaination.
Fuse material corrodes in contact with screws....this causes high resistence...couple this with high amp draw from a failing blower fan and heat enough to allow holder to melt . ....sometimes this heat is enough to ignite the plastic.
In every service on vehicles so equipped, I have checked blower amp draw to prevent loom damage .
Fuse would be better if suspended....then fuse strip should blow.
Have often found 80 amp strips used in this location bent up as they are longer than the holder.
