Its actually quite probable. Space heaters and Christmas trees start fires all the time.
What the hell does a space heater that uses electrical resistance to glow an element RED HOT have to do with a mining rig that might, on a bad day reach 90C?
Christmas trees light up if they dry out fully and get heated to the point of combustion, a total non issue with LED christmas lights, by the way.
Be smart, use metal racks, and I think this is paramount, USE HIGH QUALITY PSU's with SUFFICIENT gauge wire for the power you need! The goes double for risers.
Monitor the power draw at the wall and be sure to stay under your circuits rated capacity.
