Happens more than you think.
Never heard of this one before. Are these bath fans with heat lamps or just plain bath fans??
In the incident that I posted…standard exhaust fan (new construction).
Thanks Nick - good info
Thanks Nick for a reminder that bathroom fans can cause fires.
Here is a good link on what can cause the fire.
