A fire caused by a tea kettle that had accidentally been left plugged in started a barn fire at a farm on the Bromley Line in the Westmeath area on Friday evening.
The fire, in a pig barn at the farm of Merlyn and Alice Martin and their family, was brought under control by the quick response of Mr. and Mrs. Martin and their three daughters.
....
The kettle was kept in the barn to heat water to mix milk replacer to supplement the diet of baby pigs. There were a half dozen sows with litters in the barn, as well as some weaned pigs.

This is the kind of fire my smoke detecting power strip could prevent.
