The plaintiff's fire started in a bedroom wall. There were six people aboard when the fire broke out. One of their friends was stupid and stuck around long enough o take a photograph. The San Bernadino County FD handled the event.
To me it's a moot point. I do not enter a freeway using an off ramp. I do not cross against a red light nor willingly do anything that would challenge the appearance of rational sanity.
I have seen way way too many cases of receptacle failure due entirely to having an inadequate receptacle tasked for the work. It just isn't worth it. Even a mouth-breather can see the receptacle tension grip increase using a spec grade plug versus a contractor plug. Spec receptacles grip-tighter starting off. It's exactly the same thing as having a loose battery cable. Only a bad receptacle can kill you via your personal Dante's Inferno.
Of interest
The next time you go to Home Depot, pass by the receptacle aisle. Look for a receptacle that costs twice or thrice that for a contractor grade. Wander further down the aisle and grab a cord plug used to repair and extension cord. Plug it in. Tight huh? Now compare tightness to a contractor grade plug. Oooooo loose as a goose in comparison.
If you prefer a loose connection do not overlook the battery cables in your car. Grab a wrench. Back off the tightness and give those poor posts a break...
Sheesh.
