The fire department in North Carolina had never seen anything like it.
The Burlington Fire Department said it was a new thing.
Anthony Mebane said he was shocked to learn the cause of the fire.
Nothing happened to me in that role. Mebane initially didn't believe it when he heard about it.
What is the origin of the fire? A pile of laundry on Mebane's bed caught fire.
The fire department got the call of the fire at the home. Mebane was at work at the time.
The fire started in a bedroom and was put out in 15 minutes.
According to the release, the fire didn't start until the clothes were taken out of the dryer. The pile of clothes became so hot in the dryer that when they were put on the bed, they caught other clothing articles and furniture on fire.
The fire caused tens of thousands of dollars in damages.
In the middle of the night, a synthetic material jacket in the laundry overheated and caught fire, setting the bed ablaze.
The source was unusual and the U.S. Fire Administration has tips for laundry safety.
Don't use a clothes dryer that doesn't have a lint filter.
Don't use too much of the dryer.
If you want to cover the wall damper, don't use a wire screen. lint can accumulate in the dryer vent
Don't dry rubber or plastic. There is a bathroom rug with a rubber backing that is not to be put in a dryer.
Don't dry any item that says "dry away from heat"
Unless manufacturers give instructions, don't dry glass fiber materials.
Don't dry items that have been in contact with something that is dangerous. They can be dry in aventilated room.
If you leave the house or go to bed, don't leave the clothes dryer running.
