    OR... keep the plastic container and all flammable materials OFF the
    bench, and then you don't have ANY accidental fires, small or
    otherwise. I keep my boric/alcohol dip in a sealed plastic specimen
    container on a shelf behind me, so that I'm never in danger of
    hitting it with the torch. In our student lab, the boric/alcohol mix
    (which is in a glass jar) is kept on the workbench area, away from
    the torches. You turn and dip your piece(s), then turn back around
    and place them on the soldering surface. MUCH safer that way.
