(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 09, 2009 ) Boise, ID – A recent fire report indicated that the fire was caused by lightening striking the dryer vent and traveling through the wall. According to D. Benson of Dryer Vent Wizard, this is an unlikely cause of a dryer fire. “Most dryer fires are caused by failure to clean the dryer vent system,” said Benson. “Dryer lint build-up is highly flammable and more likely to cause a dryer fire than lightening.”

Dryer vent cleaning is recommended annually to prevent dryer fires and keep clothes operating efficiently. Benson explained, “Your clothes dryer evaporates the water from wet laundry as it blows hot air through it while it tumbles in the drum. Heat is provided by a gas burner or an electric heating element. In addition to the heat and moisture, lint is also produced. Unfortunately, most of the lint that escapes the lint screen remains in the dryer vent system, building up and restricting air-flow. Eventually, the dryer vent system overheats and becomes a fire hazard.”
