The Wizard provides tips to prevent fires and bring firefighters home for the holidays
Dryer vent cleaning eliminates a fire hazard while increasing dryer efficiency. Over 17,000 dryer fires occur annually, with failure to clean dryer vents being the number one cause.
The frequency of residential fires increases during the holiday season in the winter months. Firefighters expect to be called to the scene of at least one home fire on Christmas Day. How sad is that?
Home fires are caused by a number of things. Add in the holiday season when people are distracted, and the odds of a disaster increase. The Littleton Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard is encouraging residents and business owners to take extra precautions to prevent home fires and allow firefighters to be home with their families for the holidays.
Each year between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, firefighters are called to respond when people are enjoying festivities and not paying attention in the kitchen. Cooking accidents are common during the holiday season.
Overloading electrical outlets or using frayed extension cords are another cause of home fires with everyone anxious to try out their new electronic toys.
Over 80 percent of home fires are caused by heating devices. Never refill kerosene heaters while inside the home and avoid using extension cords with electric heaters, especially if they are old and frayed. Store kerosene outside of the home and away from heat sources as the fumes can be ignited by something as simple as a light bulb.
Dryer vent cleaning is important appliance maintenance, all year around. The Littleton Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard encourages people to have their dryer vent system professionally installed by a dryer exhaust specialist and have dryer vent cleaning performed regularly to prevent dryer fires and promote dryer performance.
Never leave the house or go to sleep with the dryer running. This goes for space heaters and Christmas tree lights as well. For more tips on dryer vent maintenance and fire prevention visit http://www.dryerventcleaninglittleton.com/
