Are Exhaust fans rated for direct contact?

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.
