fire risk
Potential flame threat
Fire risk is the likelihood of fire occurring or the potential for damage if one does.
Insurance and safety contexts use it to assess hazards: The old wiring was a serious fire risk.
A person or thing that increases this danger is also called a fire risk: Storing oily rags in the garage makes you a fire risk.
