The opening effectively acts like a chimney accelerating a fire originating in the garage.
This is also why it's a bad idea to partially open the attic access and crack the garage door open to help ventilation. If an insurance investigator finds this, a homeowner could have problems collecting.
To put it in perspective, at least since I've been here, more homes and caught fire due to lightening strikes than garages fires.
