This is being reported in our local news today. I can only speculate as to the cause, but seeing that the call came in during the middle of the night is of concern. Those of you who build out of your homes should take particular note.

It might be a good idea to discuss the various fire hazards that can be in a woodworking shop. I'll admit that there are probably several that I have never thought of. A discussion like this could open some eyes and may save a shop (or lives) someday.

I have a timer switch built into the outlet that powers my bending iron and blanket so I don't accidentally leave them on overnight.

I know not to leave oily rags wadded up in the shop.

I have a smoke detector and fire extinguisher in the shop.

Beyond that, I haven't given too much more thought to what I should or should not be doing.

+1 for a timer on my bending blanket!!

Space heaters on under sized circuits connected to an under sized extention cords buried in sawdust.

Cooler weather is on its way...

Additional: We use a Canary all-in-one security device is the shop. It has a video camera, night vision video camera, temp sensor, humidity sensor, and an air quality sensor. When there's motion detected or the humidity changes it lets you know. They are under $200 each. All you need is wifi and a mobile device. Pretty cool!
