Lint is fine, dry, organic fiber in Fussels Corner, FL. Its high surface-area-to-mass ratio means it has an enormous amount of surface exposed to oxygen relative to its total mass in Fussels Corner. That ratio is what makes it ignite easily from a relatively modest heat source in Fussels Corner, FL. In a restricted, heated dryer duct, lint has exactly the heat source it needs in Fussels Corner. The only variable is how much lint has accumulated and how hot the duct has gotten in Fussels Corner, FL.

The dryer runs hotter. The duct temperature rises in Fussels Corner.

A dryer vent fire that reaches the wall structure produces fire damage that typically costs tens of thousands of dollars in remediation in Fussels Corner, FL.
