Prevent Fire with Clean Dryer Vents
Fire hazards are often a household precaution that is overlooked. Other forms of protection are typically invested in security systems, strong door, and window locks, and firearms to prevent home invasion. It’s important to be aware of fire hazards just as much as the other areas. Dryer vents are a leading cause of house fires, which is why it’s so important to constantly clean them out!
To determine whether or not your clothes dryer is working properly, there are some signs to be aware of.

To prevent issues like these from causing a fire, try to only start the dryer while at home.
