I don't want to come back from work and find my house burned down.
No that will not happen. What could happen if an internal ac fault or leakage were to occur in a piece of equipmemt from the hot conductor, be it a wire or a winding in a power transformer to the chassis or case, the case could become hot with repected to any other earth grounded equipment. A small leakage of current would, should, be bled off by the ics to a piece of equipment that is earth ground connected. If you do have to use ground cheaters because of ground loop hum problems and you cannot solve the problem, make sure to unplug all equipment using ground cheaters before disconnecting, or changing out ics. If a leakage is present you could receive an electrical shock.
