I was curious as well and in this article the only mention of dangerous bases is tert-Butyl lithium ("t-BuLi is very pyrophoric, it readily reacts with air catching fire, that’s why it has to be handled and stored with very special care, always under a protective inert atmosphere of pure nitrogen or argon"). But in that case you couldn't just drop it on the ground outside of a vent?
