Extreme fire danger and mowing the lawn?

We have extreme fire danger right now and no one is allowed to mow dry grass. How often do you think fires start this way? I'm curious because my neighbor is mowing his tall dead grass in his backyard. Should I be worried?

Well it definitely could start a fire, mainly if he was to hit a rock or something that could spark, I probably wouldn’t be mowing if I were him

@SW-User He gave up on mowing it like he usually does, but this time that's a good thing.

@morrgin Nope he's back at it. Probably found some kid to do it for him.
