During National Fire Prevention Month 2012 the Wizard passed out wristbands in exchange for a $5.00 donation to the Children’s Burn Foundation
Leawood KS – The Dryer Vent Cleaning Leawood Wizard encouraged his customers to support the Children’s Burn Foundation in 2012 by making a
$5.00 donation in exchange for a wristband. Dryer Vent Wizard franchises across the nation donated their proceeds to the Children’s Burn Foundation as a way to commemorate National Fire Prevention Month in October.
Harold Bert, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard is a member of the National Fire Protection Association and a nationwide franchise specializing in commercial and residential dryer vent service. He joined over 60 Wizards to raise over $5,000 for the Children’s Burn Foundation during National Fire Prevention Month last year. As a force for neighborhood safety, he works to encourage public awareness about the importance of dryer maintenance to prevent dryer fires.
More than 17,000 dryer fires are reported annually causing deaths, injuries and nearly $200 million in property damage and loss of homes. Clogged dryer vents are a leading cause of dryer fires and a number of other dryer related hazards.
The Leawood Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard provides the following dryer fire prevention and dryer maintenance tips to all his customers:
• Replace vinyl or foil dryer ducts with semi-rigid or solid metal venting
• Clean the lint screen after every load of laundry
• Wash the lint filter with soap and water to remove residue left behind by dryer sheets
• Do not store flammable items like cleaning supplies, paint thinner and cardboard boxes around heat producing appliances
• Do not leave the house or go to bed while the dryer is operating
• Call the Wizard for a professional dryer vent inspection and cleaning service
