Warning: Glass Water Bowl and Sun Cause House Fire
Pretty scary to think this could happen!
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30829406/ BELLEVUE, Washington - Fire officials in the Seattle suburbs say a sunny day and a dog's glass water bowl combined to cause a blaze that charred the back of a home. Bellevue Fire Department Lt. Eric Keenan says investigators determined the glass bowl of water focused sunlight enough to act like a magnifying glass and start the fire on the home's wood deck Sunday. Investigators said there was no electrical wiring or other possible cause.The homeowners were away, but neighbors noticed the smoke and flames. The family dog was rescued. Damage is estimated at $215,000 |

Same reason why there are general warnings about snow globes and sunlight. Same magnifying effect. Doesn't happen very often, but obviously if the circumstances are perfect...

I'll make note not to get my dogs a glass water bowl. At least their dog is alright!
