  • Here the Video of the Dryer fire in action at the laundromat! In case your wondering the Customer put something in it that caught fire. See certain items are not meant to be dried on high heat. This is what happens when you don't read the labels.
    If your still are trying to figure out what Following Keenan ! is? Well my RUclips channel is a combination of my money investment. How I run my passive investments and behind the scenes of what crazy thing happen. Some just typical days in life of laundromat stuff as well. Repairing machines, buying equipment, dealing with customers and buying more property. If you want to see what I've learned over the years in my life. Want to be entertained like MrBeast and other free laundromat, reality shows. Or need a good laugh. Then hit the subscribe button sit back and get a cold drink show about to start!!! I just love making fun and different RUclips Videos!!!!
    I wear a Gopro chest camera for a lot of my footage. I shoot the rest with a Canon M50. Nothing fancy just good one on one contact with people, day in the life type content. I will also add advice of thing to do when owning a business. Mostly based off what I have learned doing it.
    Change Out$$! | laundromat$! | Following Keenan ! Change Out video is the 1st in laundromat series of change out / money collections in the 1st laundromat. I had a viewer want to know our passive income that each type of laundromat machine makes a week. So over the next few weeks as I change out our income from the laundromat. You will see what the different laundromat machines passive income. Collecting money is not a normally everyday job in any laundromat.

    man that guy walked right past a fire extinguisher to go outside and call the fire department. he could have had that handled in about three seconds! what a shame

      Probably wouldn't know how to use it if he did tried to use it. I worked at a job where an idiot could not figure out how to pull the pin on the fire extinguisher to get it to work. He just shook it like a caveman. He refused to give up the fire extinguisher. I guess he wanted to be the big hero or something, so a co-worker busted him in the mouth then took it. Lucky the co-worker got the fire out. The confused idiot was fired for not giving the fire extinguisher up. We had training in what to do during a fire and how to use a fire extinguisher guess who was messing with their phone during that training.

    Hi! Keenan, thanks for sharing this video but very sorry for your loss. I also own a laundromat and last year around Thanksgiving, one of my stack dryer also caught fire due to customer overloading their clothes. I wasn’t at my premise at that time but I was very lucky that one of my customer was a fireman doing his laundry there, he put out the fire with the fire extinguisher in less than a minute, no major damage to the dryer! This is part of the risk of owning a laundromat with only cameras monitoring the place! Hope it won’t take too long for you to get the place running again!

    Many people are giving that guy a hard time for not grabbing the extinguisher. In his defense, he probably started panicking, you usually don't think too clearly when that happens, maybe that's why he opened the dryer door too. At least he dialed 911 instead of just doing nothing, otherwise that damage would have expanded well beyond that back room and the dryers.

    • @FollowingKeenan

      Yea I dont expect customers to put out fires. I do wish he had left the door closed. But when I met him he was pretty upset. You right about calling that the best thing.

    As a FF - quick work - and glad it didn't get into the roof! Your right -- sometimes the access and mop up is the biggest destructor -- they didn't really know whether there was anything going 'behind' the machines.... I know the whole situation sucks; but - hopefully it's the onus to make some upgrades while your at it; and the customers will appreciate the reinvestment. Happy Thanksgiving!

    As a firefighter, yes Keenan you are right If that door would have been left shut and the dryer would have snuffed out the fire! He just fed oxygen to that fire. Every 60 seconds a fire gets more intense by the fuel of oxygen. A term we use in the firefighting world is "Overhauling" Term used to check for extension of fire and that's why they tear up the place of where the fire started this is to prevent further loss from fire!

    With the fire inside the dryer even a sprinkler would not of helped as the main fire was protected inside using the clothes as fuel. It would of knocked down the fire outside but the smoke and heat would keep coming out.

    • @perk2211
      @perk2211 3 года назад +2

      Speed Queen is one of the industry’s top manufacturers of commercial washers and dryers (I don’t work or represent them in any way). Looking at the video the dryer is not the problem. The most common cause comes down to the operator error i.e. - drying contents such as rubber backed rugs, foam pillows and the occasional lighter left in a pocket. Most people don’t know or read about the warning label on the face of the dryer drum door.

    I subscribe to your channel and I used to get notifications whenever you posted a new video. Sometime in mid-October, I suddenly stopped receiving notifications for this or ANY of the channels I am subscribed to. I have no idea why I stopped receiving notificaitons and I have not been able to find out how to fix it. Unfortunately, RUclips does not have a customer service number I can call, so I guess I'm just screwed for now.

    Good thing the fire dept. was able to put that out in time, lucky you didn’t loose the whole place man. That guy shoulda never left that door open.. I get people can get scared when they see fire but for god sake of it erupted into flames like that when you opened it then what do you think is gonna happen when you LEAVE it open.. he shoulda shut the door and looked for an extinguisher or just shut the door and called the fire dept. but it’s a good thing he was there in the same sense cuz if it wasn’t for him that whole place woulda prolly burned to the ground so really he deserves a Thankyou even tho he did some harm has well not knowing it

    Do laundromats really make good passive income? Overtime at least? Even after renovations, damaged property, or cost of maintenance. Are Laundromats really a good investment for long term and are they actually profitable? How much of the money do you keep after payments and what do you do with it?
