Clothes apparently overheat, sparking dryer fire

A fire last night has shut down part of a Walhalla laundromat business. The city’s fire fighters answered a call around 9 last night to the Superclean laundromat on S. Pine Street. Chief Brandon Burton says linen clothing apparently left too long inside a dryer caused a small fire. Minimal fire damage resulted, but smoke filled the laundry building. As a result, one bank of machines is out of service temporarily.
