Surely a socket is already in a fire proof'd enclosure?

Plastic dryline box fitted into a timber stud wall?
Metal box mounted on a noggin in a timber stud wall?

Granted not high risk of burning the place down, provided bits of
burning plastic don't fall onto the carpet. But there would no doubt
be smoke damage to decoration and replacing the possibly
burnt/damaged fixed wiring might be interesting.
