I thought that too, but the same would apply for DVDs and USB sticks too. One advantage of living in a newly built house is the general level of fire protection is pretty good. As it's over 3 levels the building regs state firedoors have to be fitted, which should hold back quite a bit of a blaze for a good 30 minutes.

I think this is all so in my mind I can say I took all reasonable actions. It's also nice to meet my insurance requirements for any cash etc... I hold.
