A Harrogate kitchen caught fire yesterday when a dog jumped up to grab some sausages and set a tea towel alight.
Harrogate firefighters were called to Meadow Place in Starbeck shortly before 4pm following reports of fire.
North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service’s incident log says:
“The fire started when the dog of the house attempted to jump up on a kitchen bench to snaffle some sausages and knocked a tea towel onto onto a hob that had just been turned off.”
The incident log adds that the smouldering tea towel caused smoke damage to the kitchen but it is not believed any people — or dogs — were injured in the blaze.
