Reliability questions

One of the companies I work with is considering turning their Suns off
every evening, and on again in the morning.  They wish to do this in order
to minimize the possibility of a fire.  I have my own opinions in regard
to this, but would like to supply other, possibly more informed opinions.
What opinion do you have about this?

What percentage of people with networked Suns leave them on vs. turning
them off every night (best guess based on experience)?

Would turning it off every night, and on in the morning reduce the
reliability/MTBF of the machine significantly?  

Have you known anyone that has had a fire due to a computer, particularly
a Sun?

What pro's/con's do you see?

Thanks, in advance,
