Warning after Ashfield firefighters battle tumble dryer blaze
Firefighters who battled a tumble dryer blaze at a house in Ashfield have issued a safety warning.
Both appliances from Ashfield Fire Station attended the blaze at the house today (June 11) where the likely cause was a tumble dryer.
The photographs show the significant smoke and heat damage caused to the property.
A spokesman for Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “We would like to thank the occupier for allowing us to share these images as a warning to others.
“For your safety, please do not leave tumble dryers, washing machines, or e-bike/e-scooter batteries running or charging while you are asleep or away from home.
“We also strongly recommend having at least one working smoke alarm on every level of your property and testing them regularly.
“A few simple precautions can help prevent a devastating fire and protect lives.”
