Tube failure -- what would happen in worst case?


How do you determine when a tube is to be replaced?
Can a tube ever glow bright red and blow up?
If it does, would it damage the amp itself as well as other components including the speakers?

As has been said, a fire is the worst thing that can happen.

Apart from that, I've seen amps take a transformer (power or output) out. That's a repair you don't want to get into.
