Amines may react with organolithium and organomagnesium reagents to liberate flammable hydrocarbon gases (Carey, Francis. "Organic Chemistry", 5th Edition, Chpt. 14. Accessed at: http://www.chem.ucalgary.ca/courses/351/Carey5th/Ch14/ch14-1.html#Reactivity).
Hydrides react spontaneously and irreversibly with amines, evolving flammable H2 gas (Rittmeyer, P., U. Wietelmann. 2002. Hydrides. In Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA. (Online); Sullivan, E. and Wade, R. 1980. Hydrides. Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 3rd ed. John Wiley & Sons, Inc.).
Aromatic amines react with lithium aluminum hydride to form azo compounds, which are potentially explosive (Cartolano, A. R. and Vedage, G. A. 2004. Amines by Reduction. Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. (Online)).
Sodium hydride reacts with amines to form corrosive and strongly basic sodium amide salts (Klemm, A., Hartmann, G. and Lange, L. 2000. Sodium and Sodium Alloys. Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. (Online)).
