Generally will not fire, although it's the case that sometimes neurons will fire spontaneously, without any input.
eg.,
Spencer L. Smith and Thomas S. Otis, The Journal of Neuroscience, January 15, 2003:
Spontaneously firing neurons are found in several regions of the brain, including the midbrain, the hypothalamus, the basal gan-
glia, and the cerebellum (Llinas and Sugimori, 1980; du Lac and
Lisberger, 1995; Uteshev et al., 1995; Ha
̈usser and Clark, 1997;
Bevan and Wilson, 1999; Ghamari-Langroudi and Bourque,
2000)

One neuron is not able to transfer all of the action potentials from the entire body through it, and thus many are needed.
