As you are concerned you can telephone your local fire station for advice - they are always to help.
But the fact remains that this makes you nervous and your son should respect your wishes. Tell him that if he does not stop leaving his charger on overnight you will remove the gameboy from his possession.
And mean it!
Good luck.
I think this would be a very rare occurence. Theoretically possible, yes, but very rare. There will be loads of stuff left on overnight, do you worry about all that? (Fridge, freezer, central heating, immersion heater, computer, tv, video, satellite receiver, to name a few possibilities)
You could try your county fire brigade, I suppose they keep records of causes of fires.
Can't comment on the safety issue of chargers being left on all night, but would reiterate that aerosol cans should definitely not be left on sunny window ledges, especially in the kitchen or bathroom because of the risk of explosion.
Also anybody who keeps a de icer can in their car during the winter should remove it during the warmer months in case the car is left in a hot sunny place and the car explodes.
Another reminder. Don't use plug-in room air fresheners. They are made of very thin plastic which can melt. They have, apparently been responsible for a large number of house fires.
