My Beko condenser dryer, also kept in the garage, did the self same thing on Sunday 10th! Had the brilliant firefighters from roedean station out but luckily my fiancé had managed to put the fire out by the time they got here. They checked all the electrics over and reassured us the fire was out properly and electrics were all fine. Just a dodgy tumble dryer unfortunately.
