Smoke Detector Alerts Stonefield Resident

San Antonio firefighters responded about noon Wednesday to a dryer on fire on the 9200 block of Shadystone in the Stonefield subdivision.  According to an SAFD incident report, a smoke detector alerted a resident to a burning load of laundry resulting from a defective dryer.  Except for the loss of the dryer and clothes, the flames merely scorched an adjacent wall before firefighters smothered it with an extinguisher; a great testament to the value of smoke detectors.  There were no injuries.

Three engines and a ladder truck were on the scene for less than 30 minutes.
