Lost everything in a house fire, an electrical fire, in high school. So 30 years later I’m nervous around new appliances or lamps or, really, anything that plugs in except low-voltage. I don’t trust PoE, I don’t plug things in overnight until they’ve logged some daylight hours under monitoring, etc. My sister keeps a number of fire extinguishers around the home, so I think she’s got some PTSD over it too.
