Is it normal that my fridge is in flames?

I have a fridge freezer in my kitchen. I was sitting watching tv and heard this bang, i went through to see what it was and there was smoke everywhere, and it's still burning. Is it normal for fridges to go on fire, or should i be worried and call the fire brigade?

    Soooo...your fridge is just sitting there possibly about to burn your house to the ground and you jump on here to ask what you should do?!

    Fridges are electronic, they can burst into flames. That doesn't mean you should let it burn though. Anyway, this is obviously fake. No one would go to IIN, and you'd have to wait for moderation. Troll.

    I hate to break it to you but... Your refrigerator has the gateway to hell in it.

    Fridges and washing machines catch fire when the motors that drive them are slowed down or brought to a standstill. The current rises and the wiring overheats setting the dust and rubbish that collects around them alight. Although a few inexpensive design changes would remove over 90% of the risk, manufacturers still seem unwilling to adopt them in the competitive white goods market

    Basically, fridges work by pulling heat out of the fridge and putting it somewhere else with a condenser. They usually transfer all the heat to the back of the fridge (where all the condenser tubes are.) You may have something too close to those tubes (like the wall for example). Try pulling the fridge out a bit from the wall and see if the back is hot.
