Be sure to clean out your dryer's lint trap, after each use. Forgetting to do so, might cause a fire. It's better to be safe than sorry.

If you fabric softener sheets, wash the lint trap in hot soapy water about once a month. The softener can put a coating on the trap, causing it to be less efficient.
The lint trap is not the only place lint can cause a fire. Aside from the obvious vent hose, the inside of the back of your dryer can accumulate a lot of lint, even if your lint filter is inside the door of your dryer. I learned this when our dryer caught fire due to this very thing (thank God for smoke detectors).
Chipmunks, mice, small red squirrels etc stored nuts in our dreyer vent hose. So make sure you buy a cover of some type. Ours is like a heavy screen keeps them out of the dreyer vent pipe from outside.
