While enroute, Delaware County fire dispatchers advised they were now receiving an additional call from the homeowner stating their dryer was on fire in the basement. Ladder 35 arrived, extinguished the fire and companies began to ventilate the residence.
This call serves as a reminder to have working smoke detectors and to clean the lint in your lint trap and dryer vent. Without a working smoke detector, the homeowners would not have known about the fire in the basement!
If you are in need of smoke detectors, be sure to message us and we can provide them to you at no cost. |
