The statistical properties of failure are studied in a fiber bundle model
with thermal noise. We find that in agreement with recent experiments the
macroscopic failure is produced by a thermal activation of microcracks. Most
importantly the effective temperature of the system is amplified by the spatial
disorder (heterogeneity) of the fiber bundle.
