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?

Have buckets of extra water available. Good to have numerous amounts. Maybe it won't save ya, but hey, maybe it also could!
Also good for it the lectrick goes oo't.
I'd let him mow his lawn though, or else he might snap or something, having tall grass.
