The Wizard recalls a very devastating fire that killed many animals in a pet shelter as they waited to be adopted
Horatio Chiorean owner of Dryer Vent Wizard provides dryer vent cleaning for homes and businesses in Palm Beach neighborhoods. Horatio recalls a couple of devastating dryer fires where the dryer vent was clogged with dryer lint and pet hair.
The most devastating fire was in an animal shelter where 15 cats that were in cages waiting to be adopted were killed. A woman and her dog living in an apartment upstairs escaped safely, thanks to the dog that barked and jumped on her to awaken her. The dryer was running and no one was at the shelter when the fire started. Damage and loss were over $500,000.
“Our beloved pets are often the heroes when they alert us to danger,” said Chiorean. He went on to explain that pet hair is very problematic in a dryer vent system. It almost always causes complete obstruction of the vent because pet hair when removed from towels and clothing is even more abundant than dryer lint. Pet hair weaves around itself and causes a very hard blockage.
Dryer Vent Wizard (http://fortlauderdale.dryerventcleaningnow.com/) service technicians often encounter these pet hair blockages in dryer ducts in vet offices, pet salons and in animal shelters. Homes with multiple pets can also experience excessive build-up in their dryer vent system. A complete dryer vent inspection by the Wizard will reveal potential problems that can lead to disaster. The Wizard finds and repairs at least one problem with every dryer vent he inspects.
