You beat me to it. I came here to post about how dumb it is to get pictures of your house being on fire for social media instead of a) putting it out, b)calling the fire department with that same phone, and/or c) GTFO of the house before you are overcome by the products of combustion.
Also why you should throw the lint from the trap into a covered waste can. Especially if you have incandescent bulbs above the dryer. I use dryer lint as kindling for camp fires - it goes up with a single spark.
Oh shit my dryer is on fire! What should I do...get the fire extinguisher or take a photo?

DeleteExactly.
DeleteHey, like it's not MY dryer! It's Mom's - I was just use it.
DeleteProbably proud of her 'quick thinking'
DeleteDang, there goes my pastel green polyester leisure suit.
ReplyDeleteThis is why you should never leave home while the dryer is running.
ReplyDeleteAlso why you should pull the front cover from your dryer every once in a while and clean the lint off the motor.
DeleteAlso, a good idea to run your dryer on maximum temperature with the same frequency as driving your vehicle at maximum speed. Never.

DeleteQuick! Get the leaf blower!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a front-load washing machine to me, but for the life of me I can’t figure out why one would catch fire. That’s the dryer’s job.
ReplyDeleteWashing stuff covered in oil or gasoline?
DeleteMaybe its a combo W/D.
DeleteStarker here, the floor looks wet. Fuel or water? I hate front load washers even more now. Maybe they hated theirs.
ReplyDeleteYep. Definitely a washer. Tell by the deep dish glass door.
