to Raise Funds for Children’s Burn Foundation
Local dryer vent service technician speaks to homeowners about dryer fire prevention at New Lenox Fire Department Open House
Naperville IL – The Naperville Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard helps raise funds for the Children’s Burn Foundation by promoting fire prevention and safety tips during National Fire Prevention month in October. Dryer Vent Wizard is a member of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and a nationwide franchise specializing in dryer vent service, repair, replacement, alteration, cleaning and maintenance for residential and commercial clients.
On October 13, 2012, Joe Enzenberger, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard serving Will County and Southwest Cook County will demonstrate the value of professional dryer vent service to area residents and business owners from noon until 4:00 PM at the New Lenox Fire Department Station #1 located at 261 E. Maple (US Rt. 30), New Lenox, IL 60451.
Wristbands with the company’s slogan “Prevent a Fire, Clean Your Dryer” will be available for a donation of five dollars each and more, with 100 percent of the proceeds donated to the Children’s Burn Foundation. Donations can also be made online at http://dryerventwizard.com/blog/childrensburnfoundationdryerventwizard/.
Over 17,000 dryer fires occur each year with failure to clean dryer vents being the leading cause. Improper dryer vent installation is also a contributing factor. A complete dryer vent inspection and dryer vent service by the Wizard eliminates a number of dryer related hazards.
“We are pleased to participate in a nationwide effort to raise money for the Children’s Burn Foundation which offers fire safety prevention and education along with much needed services to help children burned in fires,” said Enzenberger. “An important part of our service delivery is to educate people about how they can minimize the risk of dryer fires by following easy tips for dryer maintenance.”
Dryer vent service technicians offer the following advice to their customers while performing an important home service:
• Replace plastic or foil dryer vent with semi-rigid or solid metal venting. Plastic is flammable, and foil accumulates lint.
• Clean screen lint trays before and after drying a load.
• Wash lint screens with soap and water every few months to remove residue left behind from fabric softeners.
• Don’t keep combustibles such as cleaning products or chemical laden rags near the dryer.
• Don’t leave home or go to bed when the dryer is running.
• Have dryer vents professionally cleaned and inspected annually.
