The owners were alerted and woken up their Apple HomePod which sent them a “High Heat” notification. One of the men in the house managed to extinguish the fire before calling the fire department. A crew, Engine 23, was dispatched upon being alerted on the fire. On arrival, the fire department personnel noticed that there was no visible smoke or flame but upon further investigation, they saw the video recorded in the kitchen. The owner was taken to a local hospital to get treated for smoke inhalation. No other injuries to the family members or the pet were reported. The Colorado Springs Fire Department advised people to always have functional smoke alarms both inside and outside every sleeping area and every floor of the house. “This is a good reminder to always have working smoke alarms inside and outside every sleeping area and on every floor of the home, ensure all combustibles are away from your stovetop/oven, and know two ways out of every room in your home in the event of a fire,” the department said. Internet slams home owners for ‘neglect’A Facebook user, Lana, commented, “Should not put flammables on any cooktop gas or electrics. Pets trying to get stuff up there turning on ranges and starting fires is a common insurance claim unfortunately. “ BBC News shared the same footage on Instagram this week. Art Nova Tugce Kizilet said, “A child at home can do the same at home.So an adult’s job is to cut off the gas when they are not using the stove! If you don’t turn off the gas valve of the stove, with a lighter from the automatic pull, a child can run it and burn the house down. It’s not about burning the pet. The topic should be about evaluating the behavior of the adults who neglect to take precautions even when there are children at home.” Aother user joked, “Lesson learned: don’t ask your dog to prepare breakfast for you.”
