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.
