Sucks that people were injured and displaced, but I'm going to hazard (get it?) a guess from my days as an insurance company slave and say that something was probably involved that shouldn't have been dried, like rubber or Tyvek or similar.

Thanks for your suggestion insurance company slave, but nothing was put in the dryer as you think it was. It was my brother's house and think you should be more sympathetic, especially when you start off your email with "sucks that people were displaced but..." Should have just left it at Sucks that people were displaced, cuz it does and I don't think anyone would ever ask for something like this to happen.
