TIL my neighbor, a retired firefighter, only uses metal boxes for old work

He told me 'I've seen too many plastic ones melt in a wall cavity' after a small fault. Has anyone else switched materials based on advice like that?

Makes total sense... seen some scary stuff too.

My last camping trip had me convinced a raccoon was a skinwalker for a solid hour.

Yeah, I switched to metal boxes after a buddy had a close call.
