The cause of the fire was suspected to be a loose connection in the battery terminals of a wireless mouse. I can see how this can happen because I’ve had one TV remote overheat after it was dropped and the batteries moved, and more recently, I returned a Bug Zapper which had a problem and the batteries were extremely hot.

Perhaps this is a good time to consider if you drop a device with batteries to open the device and make sure the batteries are seated properly.
