Hi George
I have had two tumble drier fires to date and the aftermath is horrendous .
On both occasions the drier was in the garage next to the up and over door.
The driers were cleaned of fluff on a regular basis and i believe that on at least one occasion a sensor failed and the drier kept going causing overheat.
I didn't claim anything from the insurance as it just puts the premiums up.
we now NEVER leave the drier on when we are not at home.
It could have burnt the house down if it had been in the kitchen like most are.

regards
steve
