I will NEVER put laundry in the dryer before I go to bed again. I put a load of laundry in the dryer then got sidetracked before I went to bed. It was the matter a few minutes before I got a strong smell of smoke, I screamed to my kids 18,16,13 and 1 year grand baby "FIRE get the baby, furbabies and get out" I was shuting off the dryer, and fan I have in my laundry room as I was calling 911. The fire department was here quick(for such a small town) It turned out to be electrical in my dryer (strange since it is a newer one
) The actual fire stayed contained to the inside of the dryer. (the house still smells bad) But everyone is ok. I have learned a huge lesson, If I would have went to bed it could have been horrible. The laundry room is 3 floors down from my bedroom and I don't know how soon I would have noticed the smell. My kids rooms are right next to the laundry(scarry) I will Never go to bed after starting my dryer. I don't have one now
but when I get another I have learned a huge lesson. I hope someone can learn from this experience. Don't make the same mistake I did and not even realize the dangers.
