Dryer Vent Cleaning and Fire Safety Tips Provided by Dryer Exhaust Specialist in Louisville, KY

Oct. 18, 2009 - PRLog -- Louisville, KY – October marks National Fire Prevention Month; local fire departments visit schools and teach kids fire safety; magazines and newspapers print articles to promote public awareness of fire safety.  October is also the season when the number of home fires is on the rise.

Keith O’Loane, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, recently posted an interesting article of his own.  “We concentrate on educating customers all year; however, extra effort is focused on fire safety during National Fire Prevention Month,” said Keith.  “There are several home fire hazards people are not aware of.”

The first fire hazard Keith brought up was dryer vent lint.  “Too few people give dryer vent cleaning a thought.  Over 80% of American homes have clothes dryers; the most likely appliance to start a home fire and the most likely of appliances to suffer from neglected maintenance.  As lint builds up in the dryer vent system and inside the dryer itself, it provides fuel; add a spark from inside the dryer, and you have the necessary ingredients for a dryer fire.”

In the spirit of fire prevention month, Keith talked about other unexpected fire hazards including lawn clippings.  “Few people realize that fermenting lawn clippings can create heat and combust if they are piled up behind the garage.  Lawn clippings should be spread thin; not piled up.”  Other things Keith mentioned were old power strips, faulting wiring and even your cat!  Read Keith’s complete article at http://dryerventlintcleaningjeffersonville.blogspot.com/2...

Keith made a final comment as the interview was concluded, “There are many things around the house that can be fire hazards.  Freak accidents happen because they are totally unanticipated.  That is why they are called freak accidents.  Dryer vent fires; however, are not freak accidents; they are easily preventable.  Professional dryer vent cleaning and proper dryer vent installation will go a long way in preventing a clothes dryer fire.”
