You can avoid a risk of fire, by having the fan and any other incidental(< I mean no disrespect by that word ) equipment that runs 24/7 ( air pump, fans, circulation pumps (large reserviors) plugged into a GFCI - Ground Fault Circuit Interuptori was wondering this myself , if the motor blew or something will it catch fire ?
The moment an electrical failure occurs (the instant there is a loss of potential< for electricians) such as motor winding failures or any fault on the protected circuit, it shuts down within milliseconds and requires a "manual reset" in order to be placed back in operation. These are manditory if the outlet is placed with 6 feet of a water source( sink, bathtub and the likes) These can be added between the existing outlet you use now and the devices you are concerned about ( dont plug the whole rooom into it, please) and you should be able to rest a little better at night.
Hope this helps
Peace
