Except for "leg rash" after freshly filling the Zippo up.

Experience speaking here!

In a fire fighting training school I attended in the early 80's we were told that butane lighters had the same power as 3 sticks of dynamite. Whether the lighter has that much power is true or not, the instructor highly suggested that anyone carrying those types of lighters quit carrying them in your pocket. All you need is one hot ember getting into your bunker gear and you won't have to worry about the "boys" any more.......if you survive.

Years ago I worked with a guy who was used a "bic" type of lighter. While driving west one afternoon he started thinking that the sun was causing it to get real warm in his car when suddenly he realized his shirt pocket was on fire.

Apparently a small spec of dirt or something had gotten trapped in his "bic" and didn't shut of the fuel supply after he lit his cigarette and he had put in back in his shirt pocket still flaming.

He said while trying to put out his flaming shirt pocket he almost ran off the road.

I guess this proves �smoking can be hazardous to your health�.

"Aerosol cans, however, are a different story. Never put one of those in a fire."
