Hang an amp probe on it and see what you're really drawing.

Or pay an electrician.
Breakers do get weak with age and continued cycling.
A new 15 amp breaker would be worth trying if you don't have an amp clamp.

Sparks and flames? Sure. That is how homes and garages burn down. Poorly installed and improperly upgraded wiring.
