I do not know if it is an urban - or any other type of - legend either;
but it is possible that, if one is in a dusty environment or one which
has free roaming critters like roaches, a fire could get started not so
much from the heat of the electronics (if it is solid state)although
that is also possible I suppose as from a short circuit caused by the
critters or - to a much lesser extent - dust balls and debris that
contain moisture or metalic content.  Just a thought.
