Answer:

Don't cut it till you find out for sure. There are probably two wires in there.
Long answer: I did Tae kwon do for 3.5 years and actually got to black belt. The only time we used saftey gear is at grading. The reason for this is when ever we practiced sparring it was very light contact, you could never hurt the other person if they got hit, Also everyone was very profiecent at blocking, almost every hit was blocked, I was a blue belt and red belts were struggling to hit me, thats how everyone was. Short answer: Before you learn to hit, learn to block.
Anything that makes enough heat to keep an old trailer house warm in New England winter is too hot to classify as safe, so we're looking at this as relatively safe. Smokes and CO2's won't help with nobody home, but they'll save your life (be sure they have battery backup) if you're there and problems arise. If your propane bottle is outside (it must be, per code), you're pretty safe from explosion injury. Since there's propane, there is no natural gas, and you've only got 60 amps to work with, so propane is your fuel of choice. The thing about propane is fire, and CO2. If you've got resources to do so, you might want to replace the old central furnace. This will be much safer than an old one, which might have all sorts of issues. Beyond that, I'd use duct tape to affix clear poly over the outside of windows (go all the way to the wall material, to seal against leaks) and l would advise turning off all elec at night except what you really need on. With a new furnace, elec fire is your biggest worry it's very unlikely, but I understand that due to recent experience, you're gunshy. That's why I say unplug at night, and next summer, rewire.
