Not a worry in my case: local fire regulations prohibit unusually large fire sources...

Well, that's easy for you to say...
Since you choose to express it that way, does it mean you think I'm 'Finnish'-ed?...

B.t.w. since it is your birthday, do you have a birth certificate?

Birth Certificate? Nah, I'm too busy working towards that Death Certificate and I'm almost there...
...unless, of course I decide to embrace my deity status and opt for immortality...
Many thanks to all of you for your posts. Yesterday, I was thinking back to fifty years ago when I turned 18. On my 18th birthday, I couldn't vote and, in the State of California in 1968, I wasn't officially an adult; girls in CA were adults at 18, but boys weren't legal adults until they reached 21; what this meant was I couldn't sign contracts, get married without parental consent, consent to medical procedures on my own, and a number of other things kids who turn 18 today take for granted. I also couldn't buy or drink alcohol legally, either. However, I was required to register for the draft at 18 and did so on my 18th birthday. Guys are still required to register today, but, back in 1968, it had a whole lot of implications kids don't even have to think about today...
I was also thinking about how next June, 2019, will mark 50 Years since I graduated high school. Its kind of funny; as one ages through the years, our past starts out as being seen in terms of years ("oh, that was a few years back"), then we see in in terms of decades ("oh, I remember that from the 60s, 70s, etc."), then we get to the point where our past starts to be measured in fractions of centuries ("oh, that was half a century ago"). I rather doubt I will get to the point where the past will be measured in a whole century. Now, I'm just living with a curiosity about what the remaining time will be like; it may not be much, but its a good reason to wake up everyday...
Thanks again for the wishes and I wish the best for you all...
