Default Looking for facts about fires caused by compact florescent bulbs

Looking for facts about fires caused by compact florescent bulbs:

I have been lucky that I was able to be nearby when these occurred,
and it seems the problems happen when the lights are turned on.
However, I am finding these bulbs to be dangerous as far as a fire
risk. Because of this, I am going to be eliminating all of them and
going back to standard light bulbs. I'd rather spend a few dollars
extra per month on my electric bill than risk a fire.


Good idea. BTW, did you notice where they were made?
