Never a fire.
However, my skimmer pump (piece-o-crap Atman), which was plugged into an outlet controlled by a float switch in the skimmate container, crapped out and fried the float switch as well as the outlet in the Reefkeeper energy bar.....a purple/black goop was coming out of the energy bar and now that outlet was fried.
That "goop" sounds like melted plastic to me
