Fire crews attend overheating tumble dryer

Mon, 22 Aug 2011

Fire crews were called out after a tumble dryer overheated in Farmhill at the weekend.

Only an electric plug socket was damaged in the incident, after the occupants were able to isolate the power.

No-one was injured, and crews spent just 20 minutes at the scene.

Fire safety officers say tumble dryers should be checked for poor ventilation.
