Did you know that over 15,000 fires are caused each year from dryer vents, leading to over 300 injuries and over $84 million in property damage?
To prevent dryer fires, regularly clean out your dryer vent and follow these safety tips:
- Do not leave a dryer running when you are not home.
- Do not dry any items made of foam, rubber, or plastic.
- Do not overload a dryer with wet clothes.
- Keep the area around the dryer clean and free of clutter.
- Always use the appropriate electrical outlet for dryers.
- Do not place clothes or fabric soiled with a flammable substance, such as gasoline, cooking oils, grease, or oil, in a dryer.
