Dryer Lint Is Highly Flammable
Failure to clean the dryer lint trap is the leading cause of dryer fires. Lint is extremely flammable and accumulates fast. Clean the lint screen before every load, and have the dryer vent and ductwork professionally cleaned at least once a year.
Fire Extinguishers Have a Shelf Life
Most home fire extinguishers are good for 5 to 12 years, but they lose pressure over time. Check the gauge monthly to make sure it is in the green zone. If the needle is in the red or the extinguisher is expired, replace it. Remember the acronym PASS: Pull the pin, Aim at the base, Squeeze the handle, Sweep side to side.
