Funny you should mention fire and eucalyptus. When I was a teenager our house burnt to the ground. It went up so fast the investigators thought that there might have been an accelerant involved (as in arson.)
As it turned out, just prior to the fire, we were having a bit of a flea problem with our dogs. And for some reason my parents thought that eucalyptus leaves would drive them out of the house.
Well those leaves had been on the carpet for a couple of weeks when my brother had some friends over one day. One of the left a cigarette smoldering and it caught the carpet on fire. Well the oil in the carpet caused the whole house to go up in a matter of minutes.
Stange but true.If it ain't broke, find a bigger hammer.

the worst thing with fires i ever experienced was my father's car burning out when i was like 8.
oh and some years later i put a nail into the power socket and instantly pulled my hand back when i felt the electricity. pretty close.Baal: "You dare mock me ?"
O'Neill: "Baal, c'mon, you should know ... Of course I dare mock you."

Dry eucalyptus leaves burn like you wouldn't believe! I suggest that if you have eucalyptus trees and you're not in Australia, cut the buggers down Whatever you do, don't try and burn them
