Pineville NC's Completed Dryer and Modifications

Picture Credit: David Babey

Pineville Fire Department was kind enough to share their modifications on dryer 1.

The glove dryer was added to the center of the central tube in order to increase stability in order to accommodate for the extra hanger.

Additionally, hanger tubes are an inch thicker, and slightly longer in order to dry more of the pant leg faster.

The air blower is set on its side for stability and convenience.

Thank you Mr. Babey for letting me share these nifty modifications!
