Lawnmower fires are relatively rare, but when they do occur, the damage can be significant. This photo demonstrates that the fire can quickly spread and cause extensive damage. In addition, the fire's heat can cause the lawnmower's plastic and metal components to warp and melt. Lawnmower fires typically occur when debris, such as leaves or twigs, are caught in the blades and ignited by the engine. To help prevent a lawnmower fire, clear away any debris before starting the engine. In addition, always maintain a safe distance from flammable materials such as gasoline cans or dry grass.
