“Ignite the kitchen gas” a massive fire in a house and the accused is a dog

Security cameras inside a home in Missouri recorded the moment a dog turned on a kitchen stove, setting off a fire that caused extensive damage to the home.

The Kansas City and South Platte County Fire Department responded to a house fire in the Race Lake neighborhood of Parkville and rescued two dogs, who were the only occupants of the building at the time the fire broke out inside the house and discovered that one of the dogs had stood on its hind legs to check a frying pan on the stove and lit the stove.

According to UPI

Investigators said the frying pan still contained food from a previous meal and that the heat caused a grease fire about 8 minutes after the dog turned on the stove.

Firefighters said the dogs were unharmed but the damage to the house was severe.
