1. DRYERS
Tucked away in your basement, the functionality of your dryer is unlikely to be something you think of regularly, but you might want to reassess. According to FEMA, there are 2,900 dryer fires each year, causing five deaths and $35 million in property damage. To reduce your risk, make sure you clean the dryer’s lint trap and exhaust vent and make sure you get it serviced regularly.
