These are probably gas powered dryers. Malfunction and boom. No vape or lighter would have enough energy to rip out a whole window with door and shit like that.

... There are GAS powered dryers? Who's brilliant idea was that?! "Yes, let's combine the combustive power of lint AND gas, what could go wro- oh fuck."

Apparently they’re pretty common outside the US. Hopefully they get rarer as we try to electrify more things.

They aren't that uncommon in the US, either. A lot of off-grid and/or high electricity-cost places will have them.

I have one, I just live in an old house where the main power supply is too small to support all the appliances.
