Is an Incubator a Fire Hazard?

I would only worry if I had a wood burning incubator.

Yes they do catch fire. I had an Italian made incubator and the fan stopped then smoke smelling like burnt rubber and lucky I was nearby . I switched it off at the power point. The electric cable was so hot I couldn't touch it. I got a towel and threw the smouldering incubator outside. Lucky I was there otherwise the house would have burnt down.
