“I've heard of dry clothes, but this is ridiculous!" McMinnville Fireman Gary Fink may be thinking as he helps extinguish a minor blaze at the Coin-A-Matic Laundromat at Highway 99W and N. Evans Tuesday morning. Fire started when someone put a plastic blanket into dryer and it caught fire. Lint also was ignited. Damage was estimated at about $50.
