Leather Skiving machines

Gotta shoe-factory fire
- all > 4 hours after lockup, with power supply to machinery reportedly cut.
Fire origin contains leather skiving machines which pare the leather.
About the size of a sewing machine, these desktop units have a waste bag underneath
in which the leather offcuts/trimmings from above collect.
Other than perhaps the skiving blade nicking a metal shoe nail/staple etc.
they also have a built in sharpening stone for periodic blade sharpening,
a process that generates it's fair share of sparks; see

Just don't see this igniting leather shaving though (unless a fine dust);
I used to use leather gloves when I worked a 2500F gold furnace.
Anybody else encounter something similar?
