The product, in the report: BAYCO 300watt heat lamp Model #: FL-302NPDQ8
We had a BAYCO Model #: FL-302NPDQ8 heat lamp securely attached to a sturdy frame in a tack room of a barn warming some baby chicks. AT 8:25 am on 5/5/2012 smoke was seen coming from the barn. The fire inside the tack room was concentrated in the area where the heat lamp was located. Emergency services was notified at 8:27 and by the time the first responders arrived (minutes later) the barn was fully involved. and tumbled to the ground minutes after that. The ONLY electrical component connected at the time was the BAYCO heat lamp. The heat lamp was approximately 43” off the floor and the chicks were in a box 18” tall. This set up had been used continuously for the previous 9 days with the box being changed out on day six to prevent drying out and reduce the combustability. Both the local fire investigator and insurance arson investigator both determined that the fire’s point of origin was in the area of the heat lamp.
The lamp has since been recovered from the ashes and is available for inspection. Bayco has refused to talk to anyone except an insurance company.
All indicators point to a fault or short in the heat lamp.
