No jack stands, as others have said!!!!!!
Tire flat spotting is an old wives tale from the era of polyester bias ply tires.
If you have access to electricity, you should certainly hook up a battery tender. I don't see why there would be a risk of fire. The battery tender connects to terminals in the engine compartment, not to the battery in the trunk. As suggested, you can also leave the hood ajar for jump starting. Those terminals under the hood are the preferred connections for that as well.
