Dryer Duct Cleaning by the Wizard Could have Prevented Dryer Fire that Destroyed a Home

The family lost everything…their dog would have died too if it weren’t for well-equipped firefighters reviving him with CPR

 

Warren MI – Dryer Vent Wizard specializes in all dryer vent and dryer exhaust issues while educating customers on dryer fire prevention. As a member of the NFPA, Dryer Vent Wizard supports efforts to encourage people to have dryer duct cleaning performed regularly as part of their home maintenance routine.

The Wizard recalls a dryer fire that was caused by lint build up in the dryer duct. The family lost everything and the home was completely destroyed. No one was home when the fire started and firefighters found the family’s dog unconscious with no pulse. They revived him with CPR and treated him with an IV and oxygen. The family had no renter’s insurance, but, they were thankful to the firefighters for saving their pet.

Thankfully there were no other injuries because no one was home when the fire started. Dryer Vent Wizard (http://www.dryerventwizard.com) technicians work to prevent dryer fires by educating their customers as they perform dryer duct cleaning service. They warn people to never go to sleep or leave the house when the dryer is running. Pets are completely helpless when they are trapped in a burning home. Dryer fires can quickly engulf the home within minutes.

In addition to periodic dryer duct cleaning the Wizard advises his customers to clean the lint screen after each load, be careful not to store flammable material near the dryer, avoid putting rags that have come into contact with flammable substances in the dryer and recognize the most common sign of restricted air flow. “Increased drying time is not normal, even for very old dryers,” said the Wizard. “If it takes more than 45 minutes to an hour to dry each load, then there is likely an air flow problem.”
