If you don't clean the lint trap in a drier, will it start a fire?

Does this really happen or does the drier just perform poorly? I want to know if there are any documented cases or if my mom is just pulling my leg.

This is not only possible, it has happened and resulted in death. A mother in Kentucky died from a clothes dryer lint fire in September 2008.
