I was thinking tonight of my elderly Mother's obsessive routine afore she goes to bed every night of disconnecting the TV mains supply and aerial due to a long held belief that should a thunderstorm pass overhead her house will end up in flames!
She does this every night without fail despite her frailty and myself and my sisters telling her it isn't necessary. This got me thinking about pipes left smouldering in ashtrays or dedicated pipe holders as I use.
Is there any evidence that any domestic conflagration has been attributed to a pipe left smouldering?
Hopefully the forum forensic fire expert Tim aka Ashdigger might have something to offer here.
I'm just curious.
Regards,
Jay.
