Raleigh Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard Joins American Red Cross to Support Disaster Relief Efforts

Oct. 19, 2010 - PRLog -- Raleigh, NC – The Raleigh Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard is showing his spirit for National Fire Prevention Month by joining the local American Red Cross to raise funds for disaster relief efforts.

The largest disaster threat to residents and the number one disaster relief effort by the American Red Cross in the U.S. is fire.  According to the National Fire Prevention Association, more than 17,000 dryer fires are reported annually.

Neighbors in Wheeling, W. VA rescued a man when his dryer caught fire and caused major damage to his home.  The man was transported to the hospital for treatment.  “This is why technicians with Dryer Vent Wizard work so hard to educate their customers,” said Jim Buie, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard of Northeast North Carolina.  

During Fire Safety Month in October, the American Red Cross and the Raleigh Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard are making an extra effort to encourage consumers to take steps to minimize the risk of home fires by installing smoke alarms and developing a fire escape plan.

According to a representative of the local Red Cross chapter, "Fires can strike suddenly and spread quickly.   It’s important that people take simple and inexpensive steps now, such as installing a smoke alarm inside bedrooms, outside sleeping areas and on every level of their homes.  They should also create a plan of escape in case they need to leave at a moment’s notice, because during a fire every second counts and being prepared can greatly reduce the affects of these devastating disasters.”

Jim Buie will be donating one percent of his sales during the month of October to the local American Red cross chapter in support of disaster response efforts.  “Consumers can help this cause by having dryer vent cleaning performed during the month of October,” said Buie.  “In addition to enjoying peace of mind that their dryer is operating safely and efficiently they will know that they have helped a good cause too.”

Dryer Vent Wizard is the largest chain of dryer vent cleaning, repair, replacement and alteration specialists in the U.S. with nearly 60 franchises in major markets across the nation.  Learn more about dryer fire safety; visit http://www.dryerventwizard.com and click on “Wizdom.”
