no,not if you have the towel on top of the heat lamp, but if you have the towel underneath it then it is possible
Obviously it is broken.
Heat increased in Cable and possible fire
When electricity in the form of lightning strikes wood, the temperature is so high that combustion is almost instantaneous. In Homes electricity is carried by wires and to an appliance using a Plug. 1. If there is extremely small gap between the Plug rod and receptacle in the socket the sparks are formed. If there is any object that can catch fire then a fire can be caused. 2. Most of the wires that carry current are coated with Plastic that is normally Fire retardant. When current passes the wire gets heated and as ambient temperatures changes a poor quality plastic an get hardened and then crack. This causes sparks to be created between the wire and the wall. IF wall is not Fire retardant then fire can ensue. Some times the plastic itself starts burning and then comes in contact with wooden or fire hazard material and then fire can break out.
Overloading the circuit or a device like a power strip will cause the wiring to heat up at it's weakest point and can result in fire, it can also cause insulation to melt resulting in an electrical short.
A splice box is the same terminology as a junction box. The function of a junction box is to suppress the spread of fire. In an electrical system the most likely spot for a fire to start is where wires are connected together. Loose connection of joined wires will create a resistance point. Over time with the current flowing through the connection it will heat and cool. This increases the resistance. Without repairs to this situation there will come a time when this heat will reach a combustible temperature. Depending on the type of junction box, it will suppress the spread of this fire by cutting off or limiting the oxygen supply to the fire. If the wire connection splice was in an open wall, adjacent to combustible products, the fire could spread to wall studs and then combustion could overtake the whole building.
YES! definitely. and it is also toxic to humans.
You sure can, it's been done, and the bathroom didn't blow up, the bathroom was just extremely bright Some sockets, though, do have a maximum wattage and/or a maximum heat tolerance that needs to be followed to avoid the risk of fire in the wiring and ceiling. It won't blow up, but you might start a fire. Heat lamps should have a porcelain socket and heat resistant insulation.
Heat or temperature is a physical hazard that can cause or support fire in other materials.
It is a lamp that produces heat. Heat lamps are used to keep plants warm during cold weather. They also are helpful for warming sore body parts and for keeping you warm when you get out of the shower.
Heat exchangers can be used in many things like space heaters, refrigeration and air conditioning. Heat exchangers by themselves are likely not a significant fire hazard. Space heaters can create a threat of fire if not watched and used properly.

All these sources produce infrared waves, which we experience as heat.
Always keep fabric away from fire or heat. It is a fire hazard.
There are several hundred things that can, from badly-vented game systems to uncontrolled live wires. Basically, anything that can generate heat or electricity can be a fire hazard if not kept controlled.

No. The heat from the larger bulb will damage the socket, and is a fire hazard.
