Pro tip: I just read that 40% of dryer fires are caused by clogged vents, not the machine itself.

Found that stat in a fire department safety bulletin from Springfield. Makes you rethink how you explain maintenance to customers, doesn't it?

My old landlord said the same thing, that lint buildup is the real danger.

Springfield fire department has the data. I always blamed the dryer, but @laura_chen41 made me check the source.

But what if the stat is wrong?
