I wouldn't worry. I never hear of many fires in this area on red... Just corn and beans here tho....we used to see a few smoldering ones on the 1480 but nothing on the 21 and up. We don't even carry fire extinguishers untill last year it came on the 2588. Also u will have more capacity and there are a lot of grerat changes in this new series I bet u will be very happy
