Ok, I won't let kcTiki stand alone in fire mishaps:

Back in 1981 during my hardcore Rockabilly era, I had a HUGE pomp that stuck out like a baseball cap. My cousin had trouble with his lighter not igniting, and it just 'sparked'. So me, being the "I can fix it" person, start flicking the lighter 4 or 5 times while taking a REAL CLOSE look at it and I say "it's got a weird burning smell". My cousin calmly says without blinking an eye "no, that's just your hair".
HUH? My Aqua-Net filled pomp had begun melting with little whiffs of smoke rising, and not quite to the point of catching fire (yet).

So do I get tired of hearing fire safety suggestions? NOPE, NO WAY....Bring 'em on!
