 ===Test Products Continuously Over Time===
 It is important to test products. Then to test them again as time goes on. You can not depend that a given brand or product will be the same from batch to batch.

 ===Predict Where Fire Will Go===
 Fire moves quick, and it is generally not possible for a human to intervene. Therefore, you must predict where a fire is likely to start, and where it will go, once it starts (before anything occurs). By doing this, you can eliminate or at least minimize domino effects.

		+	It is possible to design for hazardous environments where you don't want any part of the circuit able to get hot enough to combust flammable powders or gas. e.g. See Amp Hour 635-low-power-connected-devices-with-andrea-longobardi.

		+	Therefore, all design of electronic and electrical work must take fire into consideration. It is important to design devices for fire safety. It is also important to design placement and location of devices for fire safety.
