Did you know that your dryer can cause a fire? It’s rare to hear this as a reason for a fire but it’s one that can be avoided. Here are some ways to avoid dryer fires.

1. The lint that is being gathered from all of your clothes is extremely flammable. It’s crucial that you clean the lint trap after EVERY SINGLE USE.
2. Check to make sure there are no loose wires and everything is plugged in properly.
3. Do not run the dryer when you are away from home or sleeping so that you can catch it faster if something were to happen. 
4. Do not overload the dryer.
