Well here in the states I believe you are to have a fire extinguisher at your start area so this would eliminate that problem. I always have my extinguisher in the inlet ready for a squeeze if there is a fire. So this is not a real issue for me. its always good to think about safty first any ways, so you keep up the good work.
you are absolutely right............

now start her up taxi down the runway , slam it open woarrrrrrrrrr.
flames.. i can show you lots of pics showing this..
one time a guy carried the model to the otherside of the field , throttle up flame out fire..........
and now you have someone run with a 20 pound tool a few hundred yards....
i mean for the 100 grams it weights i dont think it can hurt..
but then i need to test this first.
since i now the device also generates 200 C when activated for 9 seconds at 10cm away.
so if not carefull there goes the paintjob.
