Railroads used to cause fires, because fly ash from their wood fired boilers was still burning, and would get caught in nearby weeds / underbrush which would catch fire. Much less chance of that with diesel powered trains. Sparks from the wheels when they really lock them up to avoid collisions is about the only opportunity to start a fire.

A common cause of fires in lab drawers or lockers is the improper storage of flammable materials, such as chemicals or solvents, which can ignite due to heat or friction. Additionally, electrical equipment or batteries stored in these spaces may overheat or short-circuit, leading to ignition. Poor ventilation can exacerbate the situation by allowing flammable vapors to accumulate. Regular inspections and proper labeling of materials can help prevent such incidents.
