Dog Turns on Stove, Which Then Sets Laptop Ablaze

LACEY TOWNSHIP, N.J. — Aug 30, 2014, 11:50 AM ET

Police say a New Jersey family's dog turned on the stove, which caught the laptop resting on the burner on fire and sent smoke through the roof.

The fire was reported early Friday evening in Lacey Township while the owners were away.

Police tell the Asbury Park Press that investigators believe the dog accidentally turned on the stove, though they didn't specify how that occurred.

Police say heat from the stove eventually burned a laptop computer that had been left on top of the appliance. Smoke was pouring from the roof when firefighters arrived, but the blaze was quickly extinguished.

Firefighters rescued the dog, which emerged unscathed.

I wonder if there was drugs or booze involved.

Had a dog do that. Left a tray of brownies on the back of the stove. Dog thought she could get to them and in the process, turned one of the burners on. Aluminum pan was fine, brownies burnt, plastic lid melted, nice & smoky in the house.
