Two dryers were damaged after clothing caught fire inside a laundromat in Palmerton Monday evening.

Borough fire Chief Larry Zawaly said firefighters arrived at around 6:15 p.m. at the 24/7 Laundromat at 643 Delaware Ave."The way it looked when I got there, you couldn't even see in the windows," Zawaly said. "It was just solid, solid smoke."Zawaly said the fire appears to be accidental."Clothing caught fire in one of the dryers; we don't know why exactly," he said."It caused damage to two of the dryers; we had to cut into part of the ceiling, part of the wall above the dryer."Zawaly said the fire was basically contained to the two dryer units.The incident was reported as a working fire.It took firefighters about 10 minutes to contain the situation, he said.Also assisting the Palmerton Fire Department were the Aquashicola Volunteer Fire Department, Bowmanstown Volunteer Fire Department, and Diamond Fire Company of Walnutport, which brought their aerial, as well as the RIT team for backup.The 24/7 Laundromat is flanked by the Convenient Food Mart and Beer Zone & Eatery.
