Dryer Fire Dangers
If that load of towels is still wet after tumbling for an hour in your dryer, you have an issue.The bathroom contains a toilet hidden camera,
sink and a shower and is designed to accommodate one person at a time.
With the door locked, the person inside would have a reasonable
expectation to privacy, the police affidavit states.Maybe two
issues.Either your dryer is malfunctioning, or you have a wad of lint
packed so tightly in your dryer vent tube, it could be a fuse.And your
house is the firecracker.Memorial Day weekend, Sherry Smoot's house
exploded, according to witnesses."It was a big blaze coming from the
back, then it exploded again," said Hope Shaw, a neighbor who witnessed
the fire.
Smoot could not be reached for comment, but everyone living in her
house got out safely thanks to a well-maintained smoke detector,
according to the fire investigator's report.But the report also
revealed the fire's cause: a faulty dryer, with the possibility of a
poorly maintained dryer vent.The National Fire Prevention Association
(www.nfpa.org) said in 2006, there were an estimated 17,700 fires
involving clothes dryers in the U.S.
The blazes killed 15 people, injured 360 and caused $194 million in
property damage.Other options include a navigation system with a dual screen car dvd player
that can play DVD movies while the car is stopped, and a rear video
entertainment system that includes LCD monitors in the backs of the
front-seat headrests. Satellite radio is optional, as well.According to
the NFPA, the leading contributor to 29 percent of the fires was the
failure to clean the dryer vents.We know to change the lint traps
inside our dryers after every load, but lint also builds up inside the
dryer duct (that Slinky-looking thing, connecting the dryer to the
vent) and inside the vent tube leading to the exhaust on the side of
the house.
Duct expert Carl Greenway said homeowners should locate the dryer
exhaust outside their homes and place their hands under the cover.
There should be either an open hole -- the end of the vent -- or a flap
that stays up when there's a clear path for the dryer's hot air to
pass."If that flap is down,We are leading exporters of all types of
electrical furnishing including, smoke alarm systems, hand dryer,
water heating devices, extractor fans.Bathroom hand dryers are quaking
in their proverbial TOMS wrap boots now that House Republicans are
voting against energy-efficient light bulbs. and they put their hand
there and cannot feel any air, it's a good reason to call me," said
Greenway.He said homeowners should also consider installing "critter
cages" on their dryer exhausts to keep animals from crawling into the
vents.
