This incident is a really good reminder for all of us!  When I got several
LiPO batteries and a charger several years ago, I also got a bag like this:

I always charge outside our house with the bag sitting on concrete or a
paving stone.  I also carefully inspect my LiPOs for swelling which
indicates problems.  Better safe than sorry!
