WEST JORDAN -- Firefighters think a dryer is to blame for a fire that damaged a home in West Jordan Monday. It happened near 5600 West and 7000 South.

A woman says she started the dryer and went on a morning walk. When she returned, the house was filled with smoke.

Fire crews quickly put out the flames and contained them to the laundry room. They estimate the fire caused $5,000 in damage.

Investigators think dryer lint built up in the dryer and ignited from the heat, starting the fire.
