haha interesting
ive ehard this before =] but i guess it depend on the type of hoover.
I recon older hoovers this may of happened once of twice, or maybe a freak accident, like the motor jammed and caught on fire because there was a needle stuck in it somehow,
I doubt this will happen to you thgouh =]

Another urban myth. While pine needles are flammable (they contain pine resin), they will not ignite spontaneously.

pretty unlikely. pine needles are no more flammable than carpet lint, that's for sure.

Not until you empty the bag in the fireplace and put a match to them.

christmas trees are inheritantly dangerous! the bible even says not to put them up in our house! cf. Jer. 10:1-6;-
