My understanding is the fire was caused by an unattended Li-Po on charge,
So take heed that if it can happen to a very experienced professional it can happen to YOU!!!
Amen, had a Lipo flame up and burned holes in my carpeting, had to replace the whole room carpet - expensive battery charge

Careful too, even when you think its extinguished, the chemical reaction can re-flame right in your hand, as was my case when trying to throw it out the window!
