Default Danger from sewer gas when soldering copper drain?

I need to repair a copper drain in an upstairs bath by re-sweating a
fitting. The house has a septic system with properly vented plumbing
stacks through the roof. Is there a danger of igniting sewer gases
when sweating this fitting?

Thanks in advance.


What do you think would happen if the sewer gas DID ignite?
