Dorian, I think it important that people should know the hazards. An
accumulation of ordinary domestic dust will do. Look at the fire in
the Theatre Royal, Newcastle-on-Tyne some years ago. The draught from
quite a minor fire blew all the lying dust off the ledges and beams of
the grid. This created a dust explosion which blew a foot deep dent
into the iron, some 3' across.

As far as is possible, there should be no unexpected hazards around.
This is why we take an industrial vacuum cleaner round the grid and
roofbeams once a year.
