Thats how fires start.
Incidentally, I have a micro USB cable that came with my Nokia N97 (must be 2012 or something).
It's flawless still and even after more than 10 years of service (now charging my xbox controller) it's working fine.
I've tried purchasing identical "original" cables of same kind since then, but they all last a few months before getting lose our stop connecting.
5v are not going to start a fire ๐
Depends on the components you attach.
Something rated for 3v will start smoking, and if it is touching something flammable, it can start a fire.
