A wisp of smoke is essentially a fire. Whether it's full of flammable dust or next to flammable material is the difference between a wisp and a house fire.A wisp of smoke is a lot different than setting the place on fire.
As for the reporting, yeah most incidents of failure go unreported because nothing bad happens. If a typical TV failure caused someone's house to burn down, we'd be hearing about it for sure. And consumer organizations would be all over it.
