What causes coop fires?

[Steven Bussell]

I have my coop wire for a inside coop light and plug. Even though the plug will never see water it has a wet location cover on it. My coop light is a covered led.
And everything outside is wet location suitable.
Plus it's on a 20 amp dedicated breaker.
Better safe than sorry.

Thanks all for suggestions

Does coop have a clear roof...or...?

Cord coming down from outside into box could carry water into box.
Google 'drip loop'.

This is the rabbit hutch with the same set up as the coop but the big difference is the cord orientation. In the coop the cord is coming in from below the box and it's brought up to the box mounted inside, roof is all tin. In the hutch I ran out of tin but I had a piece of desk glass that fit so in that went. It's buffered by linoleum strips so there's no rub on the wood. Directly under that glass is a shelf, my rabbits are positioned under that shelf so light is not direct. This hutch was built into the side of my front porch. I chose this location in a pinch for drainage and wind protection- my property gets really high winds. That glass only gets direct Texas sun at midday. Yes the water could be carried in, thank you BUNCHES for pointing that out. I have other points of entry for that cord I could use and I could rotate the box easily.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks @aart you're awesome
