You may not be aware but according to the US Fire Administration’s Topical Fire Research Series, Volume 7, Issue 1 dated January 2007: “Clothes dryer fires account for about 15,600 structure fires, 15 deaths and 400 injuries annually. “Failure to clean” is the leading factor contributing to clothes dryer fires in residential buildings. In most cases, clothes dryer fires can be prevented. “Failure to clean” is the number one factor contributing to clothes dryer fires, followed by mechanical and electrical failure. Clogged dryer vents occurring from lint buildup may make the dryer operate incorrectly and raise the temperature of the dryer machinery high enough to ignite lint or nearby combustibles. The exhaust vent should be as short as possible and have limited bends to allow sufficient airflow.”
