Some things aren't worth worrying about because there's nothing you can do to avoid them. Things in this category are a cataclysmic major asteroid strike on Earth, getting older, and whether the size of your penis means you'll never get a girlfriend.
Other things are worth thinking about because we can do things to limit the potential for harm to ourselves and those we care about, but simply fretting about the potential for harm is pointless. Domestic fires are a very real danger, and there are many things you can do to reduce the chances of one and ensure that you won't be killed by smoke and carbon monoxide in your sleep.
bbrown95's reply to you points out several things you can do to reduce the risk of a fire.
Smoke detectors are very cheap these days. They're reliable and very sensitive, and there are some you can link wirelessly so that, for example, something smouldering in a closed garage or cellar will trigger all the alarms in the house.
As a rule, the wisest course of action when a fire occurs in a house is to evacuate and leave it to the experts, but it's not a bad idea to have a fire extinguisher or two in the house to deal with small fires.
Something you definitely should do is consider how you would get out of the house if there were a fire and it obstructed your normal exit.
