No. When it comes to things that might produce fire inside your house, there is no such thing as overestimation. You cannot be over protective when it comes to fire safety.

- throwaway76543 9y ago"You cannot be over protective when it comes to fire safety." Ridiculous. There are obvious examples of overestimation of risk, why not prohibit electricity in homes entirely for example? Should I get rid of my kitchen stove? This kind of absolute rhetoric is banal, obviously absurd, and is not helping anyone. Effective safety measures involve accurately quantifying and balancing risk.

Have you ensured your house is built exclusively of fire resistant materials, and avoided buying modern furniture with inflammable fabric covering and interior padding? Have you installed a Halon system in your home and all physically adjoining structures? What an absurd statement.
