Hurt, no treatment Made Mar 14, 2013, sent to the company Mar 25, 2013, published by CPSC Apr 8, 2013
The product, in the report: Ceiling mounted heat/vent/light. Self contained.
On Sunday, March 10th, 2013, I was awakened by my wife telling me that there was a fire in the house. She led me to the bathroom where a NuTone ceiling mounted heat/vent/light unit is installed. Looking into the interior of the unit through the grill/cover, I observed fire within the unit. Burning material was dripping out of the unit. The combustion was audible as a crackling sound. While I turned the wall heat and light switch off, my wife retrieved a fire extinguisher. A quick burst of retardant from the extinguisher extinguished the flames within the unit. While conducting this exercise, some of the melted, dripping material resulted in burns to my hand. This same material also adhered to the bathroom floor.
Once the fire was extinguished, I removed the unit cover. The assembly’s “B” unit, the heater component, seems to be the cause of the fire. The electrical wiring and plastic enclosure were charred and melted. The adjacent fan module showed partial melting.
Since my wife was in the room when the fire started, our response was rapid and the resulting damage minimal. If the fire had started while the room was unoccupied, I believe the results could have been much worse
