Hi Tom.  Been there-done that!  I used a end fed zepp years back, and one 
night I was on 20 working some DX, and my son came in and said the tree 
was on fire.  The feeders were touching a branch, and started a fire.  
Also one time they got against the door jamb and burned a couple of 
grooves in it.  Those wires can start fires, thats fer sure!
