Yeh but, yeh but, yeh but, an appliance could still catch fire during an ON period if remotely switched on by some modern clever distant control device/system. This would be especially dangerous if the home occupants were asleep or out of the house, as in the second case nobody would be at home to notice the early stages of the fire and sound the alarm. Neighbours may then be at risk. Appliances in use should be monitored these days as they appear to present a fire risk. I don't trust 'em anymore.
Homes are not at risk by plastic "fuse boxes" any more but are at risk by dodgy fridges, freezers and tumble driers etc.
We need smoke alarms in every room, preferably the optical type.
