WHY DO DRYER FIRES OCCUR?
When lint & dust builds up in the dryer or in the exhaust pipe a fire can accure. Lint & dust can block the flow of air which causes over build up and can result in a fire.

A yearly cleaning of your dryer vent can prevent fire hazard situations and a smoother air flow that will eventually result in lower electric bills & longer lasting dryer machine.
