A rough probability based upon hypothesis (read: BS) concerning the risk of fire for device failure. This could also be applied to splices. The chart shows a minimal (but not 0%) risk before the arcing takes place, rises to peak, then settles back down to a moderate risk.

What are your feelings on this?

Is this a reasonably accurate description?
