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.
WATCH : Legendary rocker Ted Nugent was shredding the National Anthem on his guitar while performing for the Trucker Convoy
Legendary rocker Ted Nugent was shredding the National Anthem on his guitar while performing for the Trucker Convoy that’s heading to the southern border.
Ted Nugent wowed his music fans as the audience cheered and sounded like they were having a great time at the rally. Nugent then wowed the crowd a second time, but not with his guitar. Nugent had something else in mind!
My heart is broke right now, Nugent started, and I’d like to start by speaking to all the veterans out there, all the Iaw enforcement officers, and the citizens who took an oath to the sacred Constitution… I’d like to apologize to ‘We the People’ for allowing this piece of s*** to get into the White House.
The crowd roared its approval, no surprise given that so many had traveled as part of the “Take Our Border Back” convoy to show support for Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s efforts to string razor wire along highIy trafficked areas, only to see those wires cut down by federal officials.
