To the Editor:
“Mom, the dryer is on fire!” Those are words no one wants to hear, butwe heard my daughter say them, followed by “Call the fire department!”
On Tuesday, Aug. 28, while we were home, our gas dryer caught on fire. Immediately after calling 911, the Long Beach Township police arrived, fire extinguisher in hand. Ship Bottom and Surf City fire companies arrived soon after. The Beach Haven First Aid Squad and New JerseyNatural Gas Co. quickly followed. More township police closed the streets around us.
