Warning after tea towel tumble dryer fire

Fire crews called west on Thursday

Fire crews were called to an incident in the west of the island yesterday after tea towels on top of a tumble dryer caught fire.

Officers are asking people to take caution when using the appliances, particularly if the items inside have been used for substances like cooking oil.

They say you should allow items to cool before storing them together.
