(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 08, 2011 ) Boulder, CO – The Boulder CO Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard wants firefighters to enjoy the holidays by being home with their families. Dryer vent cleaning eliminates a fire hazard while increasing dryer efficiency. Over 17,000 dryer fires occur annually, with failure to clean dryer vents being the number one cause.

With the frequency of residential fires increasing during the holiday season, firefighters expect to be called to the scene of at least one home fire on Christmas Day. The Dryer Vent Cleaning Boulder CO Wizard is on a mission to give the heroes a break and allow them to enjoy the holidays with their families.

There are several common hazards that lead to residential fires. Factor in the holiday season when people are distracted, and the chance of a disaster increases. The Boulder Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard urges residents and business owners to take extra precautions to prevent fires and allow firefighters to be home for the holidays.

Each year between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, firefighters are called to respond when people who are enjoying festivities are careless in the kitchen. Cooking accidents are common during the holiday season.

Overloading electrical outlets or using frayed extension cords are another cause of home fires with everyone anxious to try out their new electronic toys.

Over 80 percent of home fires are caused by heating devices. Never refill kerosene heaters while inside the home and avoid using extension cords with electric heaters, especially if they are old and frayed. Store kerosene outside of the home and away from heat sources as the fumes can be ignited by something as simple as a light bulb.

Dryer vent cleaning is important appliance maintenance, all year around. The Boulder Dryer vent cleaning Wizard encourages people to have their dryer vent system professionally installed by a dryer exhaust specialist and have dryer vent cleaning performed regularly to prevent dryer fires and promote dryer performance.

Never leave the house or go to sleep with the dryer running. This goes for space heaters and Christmas tree lights as well.
