Yep.
I have ZNR's on ALL my control lines BUT they are all OUTSIDE the house
and INSIDE metal boxes. After seeing the effects of these little
critters self destruction several times, I wouldn't want one near

The one in question inside the TIC controller actually gave off enough
fire and heat to seriously char the circuit board, over an inch away.
Yikes !
