so i was taking to my friend tim who always watches the show with me and me randomly asked, what would happen if i left the lint in the dryer? would it catch on fire? what would happen? we cant bust it here well because if it does catch on fire, our house is going to be fried
so i was just wondering!

The Consumer Product Safety Commission
http://www.cpsc.gov/CPSCPUB/PUBS/5022.html

"The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that in 1998, clothes dryers were associated with 15,600 fires, which resulted in 20 deaths and 370 injuries. Fires can occur when lint builds up in the dryer or in the exhaust duct. Lint can block the flow of air, cause excessive heat build-up, and result in a fire in some dryers. "

Confirmed. When I was 5 we had a dryer fire from lint. At least our neighbor had a fire extinguisher handy.
