[committee] Fire

[Andrew Adamson]

This reminds me of something. I've said it before, but some time ago, so 
I'll say it again:

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS THE SOLDERING IRON TO BE LEFT PLUGGED IN 
UNATTENDED.

Even if it's switched off, it must be unplugged from the socket.
The last time it went up, it was switched off. It's just lucky I was 
sitting next to it and saw it smoking.
