Not aware that it's ever happened.
The IEEE have been a bit over-paranoid about wiring fires ever since the
70s when they got caught out by timber-framed houses.

At first glance, I wouldn't recommend that, I suspect it's more likely to
cause a fire than save one from happening.
I'm surprised at Mark H's comments about induced current from mains to LV
causing cables to overheat- would you have a reference for that, it's not
an issue (in domestic installations) that I'd ever heard of before, where
usually the interference becomes an issue long before induced currents
would be enough to heat cat5 cable.
