A fire at the Memphis in May contest changed how I set up my pit

I was there last year, and a guy's whole rig went up because his grease bucket was too close to the coals (like, maybe 6 inches away). The wind shifted, and it was a total mess in minutes. Now I keep my bucket at least two feet from any heat source, no matter what. Has anyone else had a close call like that and changed their setup?

Can't say I've had that, but I did nearly light my deck on fire once.
