1)bit of electrical advice-ensure everything you run is rcd protected.this device may already be fitted in your fuse board at home.if not you can get an electrician in to do this for you or,if your only running a few things off an extension,you can get one of those plug in ones that people use for mowers etc.this ensures that the equipment is turned off if there is a fault current of more than 30 milliamps(0.03 amps) (you can get varying limits on devices,some 100 milliamps etc but most are the 30 milli amp ones)
2)ensure everything is fused the lowest fuse possible.you can get lower plug fuses than 3amps,1 and 2 amp ones from electrical wholesalers.
3)ensure the cable used is the correct size for the fuse used
4)get smoke alarms fitted
5)get an electrical type fire extinguisher installed in a handy place

This is my worst nightmare as I keep my reptiles in sheds. Do you have any idea on the cause and where you covered under house insurance, ( I realize that the death of the animals is worse then the financial lost)

My best wishes to you and your survivors
