I think the danger when storing 9v batteries due to the pos and neg on top of the battery in drawer with several metal objects that could contact the pos and neg connections. This allows anything metal to short across the battery, this in turn creates the fire hazard. Same would be when disposing them, no metal contact across the pos and neg shorting them out. As noted on the web simple fix would be to wrap the end with electrical tape . Now the are safe for storage/disposal according to New Hampshire Fire Marshal on his investigation of the house fire.
