Oh my Goodness, my neighbor's house just burnt to the ground. They lost everything, even the family dog. 
Thats horrible! Electrical fire?
Yep. A cord was hanging out of the socket, but was in the socket enough to get an electrical charge. Sadly, the outlet was behind a long curtain, which over time, cued a spark from the exposed prongs, starting a fire. Even more sadly, no one was home, and no one would be home for the next 3 hours, leaving the family dog to burn.
