sharpening even careless sawing or routing have the potential to cause a disaster in your shop. A random spark or a finish moist rag if not handled properly can be the origin of a fire. Prevention is the best solution but if you do have a fire in your shop or for that matter anyplace your first defense can be a good extinguisher. Keep one handy, charged, up to date with maintainence and keyed to the fire types likely in your location.
