(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 19, 2010 ) Stockton, CA – Dryer vent cleaning and proper dryer vent installation prevents dryer fires and extends dryer life. Over 15,000 dryer related fires occur each year, causing major property damage, leaving people homeless and killing residents and pets. Two recent dryer fires were especially devastating:

In Northwest Indiana, a dryer fire caused over $100,000 in damages, killed the family pets and resulted in serious injury for a 16 year old boy. The boy suffered second and third degree burns to his face and hands before he was able to escape. Unfortunately, the two dogs did not survive. Investigators determined the fire was electrical.

In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a family of nine was left homeless after a dryer fire caused extensive damage to their home. The kids were home from school, so getting everyone out of the home safely was huge. Thanks to an observant three-year old who noticed the fire in the basement, the family escaped without injury, but they lost everything. They did not have renter’s insurance. The Red Cross is assisting them with shelter and a fund has been set up to help the family with food, clothing, household furnishing and other personal needs. Another family trapped in the upper unit of the duplex was also rescued.
