(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 20, 2009 ) Wilmington, DE -- Fire Prevention Week was established to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire, a tragedy that occurred in 1871. Survivors of the fire never forgot what they had been through. The fire changed the way that firefighters and pubic officials thought about fire safety. On the 40th anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire, the Fire Marshals Association of North America decided that the date of the fire would be observed by promoting public awareness on fire prevention.

Eric Gustafsson owns Dryer Vent Wizard, the nation’s largest chain of dryer vent exhaust specialists in the US. In honor of National Fire Prevention Month, Eric is providing advice to consumers to minimize the risk of dryer fires. “There are many things we can do around the home to reduce the risk of house fires, including regular appliance maintenance,” said Eric. “The clothes dryer is one of the most likely appliances to start a dryer fire; yet it is also the most neglected maintenance among homeowners.”

Over 15,000 clothes dryer fires are reported each year; most of them were caused by failure to clean dryer vents. The National Fire Prevention Administration encourages everyone who owns a clothes dryer to have a complete dryer vent exhaust inspection done right away; and then, be sure to follow up with annual professional dryer vent cleaning. “Dryer vent cleaning is the number one way to prevent dryer fires,” said Gustafsson.


Eric Gustafsson of Dryer Vent Wizard professionally inspects, cleans, installs and repairs dryer vents for homeowners and in commercially owned buildings in Harford County and Cecil County in Maryland, Bel Air, Fallston, Edgewood, Elkton, and the entire state of Delaware, Kent County, Dover, Highland Acres, New Castle County, Wilmington, Pine Creek, Newark, Sussex County, Milton,
