Resistors should be replaced with "flame proof" resistors. I bought
mine from Mouser, but other folks should have them, too. If you
overload a flameproof resistor it just goes open, no burning, no arcing.
Basically it makes like a fuse. The only problem is you can't tell it
burned out by looking at it.
