Yes, a phone modem can potentially cause a fire at the receptacle it is plugged into if there is a fault in the device, such as a short circuit or overheating. Poor wiring, inadequate electrical ratings, or the use of damaged cables can also contribute to this risk. Regular maintenance and replacing faulty equipment can help mitigate these hazards. Always ensure that electrical devices are properly rated for their power source and are in good working condition.
