Greg_Ky your comment struck home with me. (pun intended ;-)
I had lightning hit a large tree beside a 3 mile pasture fence. The lightning followed the tree and jumped to the west side of the electric fence. It followed the wire around to the east side of the fence and exploded a half dozen split cedar posts to kindling. It continued around to the south side of the fence until it reached a little country school building I use for storage, the electric wire was mounted on porcelin insulators all along the back side of this building.

The fencer power plug, the type with two little cartridge fuses inside, was blown into a hundred pieces with only the prongs still sticking in the socket.
God protects fools, so I had no fire in either of the buildings.
I retract my earlier post stating that putting the fencer in the house might be OK.

Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that.
