Dog rescued from house fire after starting blaze by 'turning on the hob'

A dog had to be rescued from a blaze it started after setting fire to a kitchen. A kitchen was left badly damaged by the fire, which it is thought started after the hound managed to turn the hob on.

Fire crews responded to reports of a kitchen fire in Cornwall yesterday (Thursday, March 30) and were able to save the dog, which was at risk of being engulfed in the flames. Photos taken at the scene depict the damage the fire caused to the kitchen of the property.

Firefighters described the dog who was saved from the kitchen as "lucky", CornwallLive reports. Pet owners were also advised to turn off the cooker before leaving the house or at night to prevent accidents. Also, they warned people to never leave anything on the hob.
