Pretty damn steep. This is the first fire I've EVER heard about that wasn't "well of friend of my cousin's uncle said...." I've never used a lipo safe bag, nor so I store them in an ammo can. Never had a problem. But I am anal about not leaving them sit fully charged. Only because I want to keep them healthy. Not because I'm afraid of them spontaneously bursting into flames. The only thing I am aware of that can cause a Lipo to catch fire is putting on the wrong kind of charger.
