Best Answer

Any electrical device if used improperly can cause a house fire. This has happened a few times when people were popping corn using a paper bag, oil, and closed the bag with a metal core twist tie. The twist tie ignited the oil soaked paper bag, when the user panicked and opened the microwave door the burning oil flared up and ignited materials in the kitchen causing a house fire.
