He pulled the nail out (small nail) and hammered it in elsewhere. Flipped
the breaker back on. Said don't worry about it.

Now I lie awake at night fearing its a fire hazard.

Is it?


No way to tell without opening up the spot and looking, to see what the
nail did. It is probably safe, if it hasn't caught fire already, but if
it nicked a wire instead of just shorting it, it could overheat at that
spot at some point.
