I thought that was a really interesting stat (I believed you, I don't mean I went to fact-check you but that's what ended up happening!) and wanted to read more about it -- it sounds like dryer fires aren't _overall_ that destructive, but in the "washer & dryer" category (~16k fires out of ~350k per year) they are 92% of that category.
Figured you'd want to know, since I found it interesting!
That being said, the dryer fires are certainly preventable and if any technology aids in reducing that, it's well worth it!
