Can a makeup mirror start a fire?

Yes. Concave mirrors like a magnifying makeup mirror can be a fire hazard if the concave side is placed in direct sunlight. Because the surface is curved inward, the mirror can focus and amplify the intense rays from the sun, and when projected on flammable objects, it can start a fire. A safety warning about fire is usually included in your makeup mirror's instructions.
