A mum has issued a warning after her clothes caught fire inside her tumble dryer. The blaze took place at Jennifer Reynold's Prestonpans home on Sunday afternoon, before her hero neighbour stepped in to stop flames spreading.
Quick-thinking Gary Armstrong sprang into action and launched the burning clothing out of Jennifer's window, almost sparking a separate incident when they landed on the garden washing line and also set it alight.
Jennifer, 48, had noticed a ‘melting plastic smell’ when she turned the dryer off earlier in the day before heading out and leaving her two dogs, Milly and Penny, at home.
