Where is he? Cant say I’ve taken much notice of Burnley but he’s not even on the bench. Presumably fit as he played in the cup, his only appearance so far.
Yes, that plus the decline in smoking (espc whilst drunk) and the removal of really toxic fillings from furnishings have all made decent contributions to reducing house fires.
Chip pans though, fortunately they are a relic now domestically.
And the fact that consumer units are now made from non-combustible material
I'll also add the regulatory use of AFDD's in HMO's and buildings over 18m has helped
(Yeah I'm an anorak and deliver CPD's on the subject)
But I'm not sure if Tuanzebe is injured or not sorry
There's a reasonably credible theory that the advent of oven chips led to a small, but noticeable, increase in life expectancy in certain parts of the UK, like Glasgow.
Due mainly to the reduction in people coming home from the pub after closing time and deciding to make themselves some chips using a load of oil and a naked flame.
I suspect highly flammable clothing of the time didn’t help the situation.
So taking your point forward, it could be said that the late night kebab is actually a healthy lifesaver! No chance of a chip pan oil conflagration combo if you are mangling the elephants leg!

We had a tea towel by the sink just to do this with. Basic cookery skills.
To be fair to him, he couldn't see the rake. He was blinded from looking down the end of that hosepipe at the very time that the water came gushing out.
it was a privilege to have watched him all those years ago. Such a shame his career was cut short so much by injury. What an animal he was. Another freak injury he had was over-straining while on the toilet, pulled a stomach muscle. While at Col U .
...but smashed the porcelain to smithereens, no doubt.
He might have done himself with a chip pan another time, but the one I remember was a bonfire petrol job - see link above. He was out for five months after barbecuing himself
I doubt many use chip pans nowadays but if they do, a wet towel is your friend or carry the pan outside to burn out away from danger. Whatever you do, don't put water on it. That spreads burning oil everywhere!
A mate of mine from school died in a chip pan fire along with his younger brother who he was babysitting. This was roughly 1980/81.
