Stained glass items have the same fire risk as clear glass. Curved glass items are more likely to start fires than flat glass windowpanes. Lead in stained glass windows can release toxic fumes when heated.&nbsp;<\/strong> <\/p><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Possible, yet Unlikely<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Numerous fire experts, including&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bushfireeducation.vic.edu.au\/verve\/_resources\/Bushfire_Myths__misconceptions.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">firefighters<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spokesman.com\/stories\/2018\/aug\/10\/summer-sparks-the-sometimes-unusual-causes-of-wild\/\" target=\"_blank\">physicists<\/a>, have said that, while it is theoretically possible for glass objects to cause fires, it is rare for this to occur organically.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The conditions required to start a fire are highly specific and usually require the interference of humans to orchestrate events. Not only would the glass need to be the correct thickness and shape, but the sun would also need to be at the correct angle to direct light onto a highly flammable object with a low flame point located conveniently close to the glass.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many firefighters regard glass-ignited house fires as a rare occurrence but still&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheshirefire.gov.uk\/news-events\/latest-news\/two-house-fires-started-by-sun-rays-reflecting-off-mirrors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">advise caution<\/a>&nbsp;to be exercised when designing your house as &ldquo;rare&rdquo; does not equate to &ldquo;never.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Would It Happen?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ilocis.org\/documents\/chpt41e.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Three criteria<\/a>&nbsp;must be met for combustion to occur:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>A fuel source must be available.<\/li><li>An atmospheric oxidizing agent (usually oxygen) must be present.<\/li><li>A sufficient amount of heat energy must be directed onto the object&rsquo;s surface to reach the flashpoint (liquids and gases) or the flame point (combustible solids) threshold.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Role of Glass in Fire Ignition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Glass is not flammable and thus cannot act as a fuel source, nor can it be the oxidizing agent necessary for a fire to burn. However, glass can facilitate the heating up of an object and force piloted ignition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Auto-ignition occurs when the activities within the flammable object result in sufficient heat release to facilitate spontaneous combustion. Unlike auto-ignition, piloted ignition occurs when an external heat source (e.g., sunlight refracted through glass) ignites the oxygen-fuel mixture.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A curved glass surface bends light rays, focusing them on a specific point. As the thermal radiation from the light source (sunlight) is directed onto the object&rsquo;s surface, the surface of the object will heat, and chemical decomposition will occur.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ignition occurs when the chemical decomposition results in a sufficient flow of flammable vapors to be oxidized and ignited.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once ignition has occurred, the chain of self-sustaining physical and chemical reactions will be set into motion. At this point, the fire would have started and will continue to burn until an external force disrupts the chain reaction.&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ilocis.org\/documents\/chpt41e.htm\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Piloted-Ignition-min.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4606\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Piloted-Ignition-min.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Piloted-Ignition-min-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Piloted-Ignition-min-768x960.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Piloted-Ignition-min.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4606 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Piloted-Ignition-min.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Piloted-Ignition-min-240x300.jpg.webp 240w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Piloted-Ignition-min-768x960.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Piloted-Ignition-min.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-2\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Has It Happened Before?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite scouring the internet, I could not find any reports of house fires occurring as a result of light refracted through a stained glass window or even a clear glass window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are numerous reports of glass-ignited fires occurring due to light refraction from paperweights, snow globes, mirrors, suncatchers, and other glass items.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can read about these incidents here:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cheshirefire.gov.uk\/news-events\/latest-news\/two-house-fires-started-by-sun-rays-reflecting-off-mirrors\" target=\"_blank\">Cheshire fire<\/a><\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/news\/uk\/home-news\/snow-globe-causes-fire-charity-shop-christmas-day-9945386.html\" target=\"_blank\">Independent<\/a><\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.9news.com.au\/national\/us-news-crystal-ball-causes-323000-worth-of-damage-in-us-house-fire\/5f92ce96-fbe3-4aa6-8674-2258a9c1f19f\" target=\"_blank\">9 News<\/a><\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.loveproperty.com\/news\/75433\/glass-and-mirrors-linked-to-house-fires-plus-tips-on-fire-prevention\" target=\"_blank\">Love Property<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cheshirefire.gov.uk\/news-events\/latest-news\/two-house-fires-started-by-sun-rays-reflecting-off-mirrors\" target=\"_blank\">Cheshire Fire Department<\/a> advises that homeowners be vigilant in removing all glass items away from direct sunlight.
