How to handle extreme fire anxiety in shared living spaces

My roommate is obsessed with fire safety to the point where she won't let me light candles, use the fireplace, or even leave my laptop charging overnight. I understand being cautious but it feels like she's trying to control how I live in my own space, and we've never actually talked about why she's so afraid or how we can find a middle ground that works for both of us.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

One person's trauma-driven need for safety is colliding with another's desire for normal domestic comfort, creating resentment on both sides.
