Due to a recent increase in the number of commercial fires caused by oil soaked laundry being removed directly from a tumble dryer prior to completing the cooling cycle, and being immediately placed into storage, Shropshire Fire And Rescue Service are issuing the advice on the links displayed below. It is particularly relevant for oil soaked items of clothing, which are able to exhibit the property of self heating, especially at elevated temperatures.
