Brakes can catch fire due to excessive heat generated from prolonged or aggressive braking, which causes brake components, particularly the friction material, to overheat. This can lead to the ignition of flammable materials, such as brake pads or surrounding components, especially if they are worn or damaged. Additionally, brake fluid leaks or other flammable substances in the vicinity can contribute to the risk of fire. Proper maintenance and avoiding excessive braking can help prevent this hazardous situation.
