In my old boyscout days we used steel wool and a 6 volt lantern battery
with some of the most flamable papers and grasses etc to attempt to start a fire. It took forever and many never got them to ignite. I agree that what happened to you was not a fire hazard. You'd have a better chance to win the lottery than to have that ignite on it's own, or maybe getting struck by lightning, twice. Wayne The worst case is if the battery box happens to get hot enough to melt low-temperature plastic trim, which can be expensive and costly to replace. The fabrics used in the interior of the aircraft had durned well better withstand a much higher temperature without igniting, or someone installed the wrong stuff. Likewise, it should not get hot enough to ignite paper. |
