On Wednesday, a dog in Colorado Springs couldn’t stave off his curiosity at the boxes his humans had left sitting atop of the stove. Oops! Guess what? Hot doggity? The pup accidentally turned on one of the burners causing a fire in the kitchen.
According to the Colorado Springs Fire Department, the blaze started on the stove and quickly spread setting off the smoke alarms in the house and the family’s Apple HomePod “high heat alert.”
The homeowner was able to extinguish the fire before it spread, and firefighters arrived to help the family and investigate the cause of the fire.
Surveillance camera video revealed the true cause of the fire. The family dog could be seen on his hind legs jumping up on the stove to sniff the strange boxes. Moments later, flames could be seen coming from the top of the stove. it seems the dog accidentally pressed in the knob for a burner. The boxes then caught fire.
after talking to the homeowners and looking through their home security footage, we determined their pup got a bit curious and accidentally switched on the oven, which had some boxes on top of it.
