Fire at Pete's!!!
I'm at the hotel for a couple months...what a nightmare!.
Just about lost my house...luckily I didn't but a lot of damage and lost personal items!. The fire supposedly started in the bendable plastic dryer pipe...get rid of it if you have any!. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif ~ Pete |

Wow, Pete, sorry to hear. Sounds like no one was hurt, thankfully.

Re: Fire at Pete's!!!
Pete I am glad that your ok. Those dryer vents are trouble. I'm usually thoroughly cleaning mine every week.

Re: Fire at Pete's!!!
Even if you change the plastic vent pipe to a galvanized metal exhaust pipe--Like Darren said you must clean the lint that accumulates in the pipe on a regular basis because it will heat up and ignite..Glad it wasn't a total dissaster...........

Re: Fire at Pete's!!!
Glad you are Ok Andy. Dryers are bad news, like the boys say even with the metal pipes they should be removed at least twice a year and cleaned, Also take the front door off and vacuum the motor area this is usually covered also.I know a few people that lost homes due to a dryer vent.
take care Joe |
Re: Fire at Pete's!!!
Sorry to hear that Pete. Looks like more work for me. Not only do I have the plastic hose but my wife thinks that lint filter cleans itself.

Re: Fire at Pete's!!!
Sorry to hear that. I lost a house to a grass fire in 1983. A total loss. So I can sympathise.
