The funds allocated to the employees of The Willow continue to increase after the spontaneous burning of cotton towels in a laundry bag, which led to a fire in the popular restaurant.
The pasture started on Sunday, July 14, at the end of the fire restaurant. No injuries were reported, although the damage was significant and the restaurant is closed until further notice.
The restaurant staff is supported by a relief fund managed by donations.

It has already been reported that Tim Downing, the Washington Fire Chief, said the fire was accidental.
Initially, the fire was connected to the laundry of the building, and Downing asked the community to make sure their tumble dryers were cleaned regularly to remove lint, which is common in fires.
Investigations ended, and after Downing saw safety images, it was said that the fire had to do with cotton towels in a laundry bag after they had been washed and dried.
According to Downing, the natural fats or oils in the towels remain in the material even after proper washing. The oils decompose after a process that causes a chemical reaction: thermal leakage.
As the oil decomposes, more heat is released. Since the towels were placed in a laundry bag, the decomposition of the heat did not allow the released heat to flow away, which led to combustion, according to Downing.
Several online sources explain that this is not only possible, but in some places is also a widespread phenomenon. Oil residue can also cause fires if the materials containing the waste are in the dryer.
Safety tips include removing rags that are heavily saturated with oil or grease, and air-drying rags that are exposed to oil or grease. Do not place these rags after washing in places where heat can not escape, eg. As laundry baskets, garment bags, many garments, poorly ventilated areas, etc.
Downing explained that rags that contained oil used at home hung outside as an extra precaution to allow the oils to degrade before washing.

It is also advisable to use old towels for cleaning so that they can be thrown away if necessary and separated from other garments. Grease stains can easily be transferred to other cloths.
Downing said he was grateful to the residents for having recently cleaned the lint from their dryers, according to an earlier Record Herald article, and hoped the residents would continue to be cautious.
