fire

This morning I was blow drying my hair & I noticed that the blow dryer was sparking. I found this particularly wild & I wondered if blow dryers have ever caught on fire & or if people set their hair on fire with the blow dryer. I was reluctant to throw it out even though it was hazardous because it is pink & purple with polka dots but I went to target & bought a hot pink one to replace it because I do not want my head to be aflame.
