An overload of electricity. Fuses are intended to be the weak link in case of an overload so they can be easily replaced. Otherwise the break would occur elsewhere and be more difficult to fix, and may even cause a fire.

Fuses serve one purpose and one purpose only. They are there to protect the wiring from overload. An overload without the fuse blowing will cause a fire.
