Statistics On Home Fires in America http://www.csia.org//Statistics_Chimney_Fires_Carbon_Monox

Chimney Fires Can Be Prevented Dave Lamb 2011 "According to the latest statistics available, there are over 25,000 Chimney Fires per year in the US that are responsible for over 125 million dollars in property damage. The most sobering statistics relate to deaths and injuries that can result from chimney fires that spread into house fires. Built up creosote is responsible for many of those fires, along with deficiencies in chimney linings and structures that allow high temper...atures, embers and sparks to reach combustible areas that are adjacent to your chimney or fireplace." http://www.mychimney.com///chimney-fires-can-be-prevented/

Fireplace and Home Fire Safety U.S. Fire Administration "Heating fires account for 36% of residential home fires in rural areas every year. Often these fires are due to creosote buildup in chimneys and stovepipes. All home heating systems require regular maintenance to function safely and efficiently....Have your chimney or wood stove inspected and cleaned annually by a certified chimney specialist."... http://www.usfa.fema.gov//home_fire/heating/fireplace.shtm

Dryer Safety: How to keep your dryer from catching fire CBC News February 15, 2007 "Heavy woolen and fleece clothes may help Canadians survive the country's long and frosty winters. But many people don't realize that they also carry a hidden hazard: when tumbled in a dryer, they shed loads of lint that can pack into cavities and exhaust pipes and increase the risk of fire.... There are about 12,700 clothes-dryer fires in residential buildings annually in the United States, according to the U.S. Fire Administration. These preventable fires caused 15 deaths, 300 injuries and about $88 million US in property damage. There are no comparable statistics available for Canada. ... Failure to clean out lint traps is the main cause of dryer fires, according to Friebe. A blocked vent or exhaust pipe blocks hot air from release, turning the highly combustible lint into a fire hazard." http://www.cbc.ca/ne/background/consumers/dryer-safety.html

Could your dryer vent be a fire hazard? Tom Phelan - ReminderNews September 6, 2012 "One of the things you should do annually is give the vent system of your clothes dryer a thorough cleaning. Why? Because at the very least, your dryer will perform better. But you will also eliminate a fire hazard.... Statistics around this hazard vary. The National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) cites residential appliance fires annually result in an estimated 9,600 fires, 25 deaths, 525 injuries and $211 million in property loss. The same source reports that, based on data for the years 2008-2010, an estimated 2,900 clothes dryer fires in residential buildings are reported to U.S. fire departments each year and cause an estimated five deaths, 100 injuries and $35 million in property loss. You may well say that these numbers are not that alarming, and rightly so. But that's valid only until your home becomes part of those statistics." http://www.remindernews.com//could-your-dryer-vent-be-a-fi
