    3. If the shed was protected with a fire retardant protective coating, that would help to prevent a fire.

      If the shed was protected with a fire retardant protective coating and filled with items that do not easily catch fire, that would make it really unlikely for the shed to burn down.

      If the shed was dry and brittle, that would easily catch fire.

      If the shed was dry and brittle and filled with old newspapers, petrol, charcoal and other materials that easily catch fire, that is a disaster waiting to happen.

      Now, what if you are the shed and what you feed yourself and your mind is the shed's content?
