rather often You find a sculpture or a picture of St. Florian.
This Saint is supposed to protect against fire, catholics believe.
But typically there is a text with the picture:

“Heiliger Sankt Florian,
bewahr mein Haus,
zünd, andre an.”

In approximate English:

“Holy Saint Florian,
guard my house,
ignite others”

So, for such “Nantucket behavior” we have a compact
name : “St Florians Principle”.
