Birds Nests Can Be a Hazard

Spring is here and the birds may have chosen the warmth of your porch lights to build a nest. Unfortunately, the heat from the light bulb against the dry grass of the nest can cause a fire in the porch light, sometimes also burning into the wall the light is mounted on.

To prevent porch light fires from birds nests:

• Check all of your outdoor lights, and remove any nests.
• Make sure all the glass is securely in place.
• Use only the correct wattage light bulb recommended for the lamp.
