How To Prevent Dryer Fires

  1. Always follow the manufacturers’ instructions on installation. Make sure to use the proper plug and outlet. Dryers should be properly grounded.
  2. Make sure the items you place in the dryer is approved and safe to put in the dryer, Never place fabric which anything flammable has been spilled such as alcohol, cooking oil, gas, or dry cleaning fluid. Heat can cause such substances to ignite.
  3. Use a rigid or flexible metal venting and ducting material to help sustain air flow. The outdoor vent flap should be open when the dryer is operating and must be unobstructed from objects such as lint, bushes, snow, and bird nests.
  4. Clean the lint trap before and after each load of clothes. If you notice your clothes are taking longer to dry than normal, this is an indication that you have lint build up. Don’t forget to clean the back of the dryer occasionally where lint can get trapped.
  5. Turn the dryer off when you leave the house or when you go to bed.
  6. Do not overload your dryer
  7. Gas dryers should be inspected periodically by a professional to make sure the connections are free of leaks or clogs. If clogged, gas dryer can pump hazardous carbon monoxide into your home.
  8. Keep the area around your dryer clean of things that can burn like boxes, cleaning fluid, and clothing.
