I can see it coming, a new fire code

"Must place smoke detector near each bedroom, AND any room that could contain a laptop"

Haha that is funny, the pitcher is just right there too. Unless its hot cofee, but still that could put out a fire most likely.

yeah thats the thing with specialized fires like that one, water can sometimes make it worse. But I think it would help in that case, the battery is still enclosed to a certain extent as opposed to a flammable liquid fire where water would make it spread more. It could also help prevent the fire from spreading on the table.


The perfect caption for that picture though is "Woahhhh, cool!" as they stare at it.
