House fires have always been one of my biggest fears. Although I’ve never experienced one personally, I constantly triple-check the stove, candles, and dryer vent for lint. However, a recent Facebook post by Kentucky resident Jason Whitaker revealed a fire hazard I never considered.
Jason shared that he kept smelling something like an electrical fire and almost tore his house apart trying to find the source. Eventually, he discovered that the smell was coming from a fluorescent spiral light bulb. Inside the bulb’s spiral coils were ladybugs, attracted to the light and heat, accumulating to a point where they nearly ignited.
“Inside the spiral coils of the light bulb was nothing but ladybugs,” Jason explained. His photos showed the potential danger, with the accumulation of ladybugs coming close to igniting due to the bulb’s heat.
If you use fluorescent spiral light bulbs in your light fixtures or lamps, be sure to check them regularly for critters trying to get warm inside. Jason’s experience highlights a simple check that could prevent a house fire.
“I found it important to share Jason’s post with you all,” he added, “as this is a potential fire hazard I would have never known about.”
Regular inspection of these light bulbs can help you avoid a dangerous situation and keep your home safe from unexpected fire hazards.
Celine Dion puts on impromptu performance backstage at the Grammys amid battle with stiff person syndrome
Celine Dion not only shocked everyone by performing unexpectedly backstage at the Grammy Awards, but she also made a surprise appearance to present Album of the Year.
Dion, 55, has maintained a low profile since disclosing her condition in December 2022 in order to combat stiff person syndrome.
In the video, Sonyaé—who is up for a Grammy—and Dion dance to the beautiful harmony of their voices.
The singer of “My Heart Will Go On” made her first appearance in public since November, when she attended an NHL game with her kids. She also made a surprise appearance at the Grammy Awards.
Although there are rumors that Dion’s voice isn’t getting better in a way that would allow her to perform or record again, it appears that she can still hit the notes that we are all familiar with.
After disclosing her illness, she postponed the remainder of her tour dates, raising doubts about her ability to give a complete performance.
Celine, you have our undying love and support.
