Heard a guy at the hardware store talking about dryer vent fires and it shook me
I was grabbing some paint thinner near the register and this older dude was telling the cashier how his neighbor's whole laundry room went up last month. Apparently lint buildup in the vent caused it - they found about 4 inches of compacted lint at the exit flap. I went home and checked mine right away and pulled out enough lint to fill a grocery bag. Now I'm gonna clean it every 6 months instead of never. Has anyone else actually had a close call with this?

Started pulling lint out of my dryer vent last weekend and literally filled a whole trash bag.
