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.
The two most common sources of home fires are small heaters and fires that start in the kitchen during cooking. Another common cause is faulty electrical wiring. The fires that cause the most deaths start from carlessness with cigarettes.
Muck fires are underground. We get tons of them in CA where I live. The fire burns a tree or a bush or something and the embers travel down through the roots. They cause a major problem once the above ground fire is out. they just light new fires
Yes, good conductors can cause fires. This is because they have valence electrons which will help move the fire to the other sources.
