Firefighters were called to Woolhampton to tackle a tumble drier fire yesterday (Thursday) evening – the second such incident in two weeks.
The incident was the second fire caused by an electrical fault in a tumble drier in the local area in two weeks.
Last Monday (May 13) morning, Newbury firefighters were called to a detached house in Cold Ash Hill, where a tumble drier was on fire in a conservatory, due to an electrical fault.
No-one was hurt in either incident.
Green Watch manager at Newbury Fire Station, Richard Young, issued a safety message last week not to leave appliances such as washing machines, or tumble driers unattended while they were switched on.
The fire was discovered to be out on arrival and the incident was closed.
