ESSEX, UNITED KINGDOM — A dog in England inadvertently started a house fire after he turned on the microwave.<br /><br />According to the BBC, the husky had been left alone inside a house in Essex when he switched on the appliance, which was on a kitchen counter.<br /><br />This wouldn't be a problem if there was nothing in it, but a packet of bread rolls just happened to be inside, and they began to burn and start a small fire. <br /><br />The homeowner wasn't home at the time, but got alerted to the blaze by an app on his phone.<br /><br />Checking the live feed from a camera inside the house, he saw smoke coming from the kitchen and quickly called fire services.<br /><br />Firefighters got to the house and found the kitchen filled with smoke, but contained the fire so it didn't spread to the rest of the house.<br /><br />Essex Fire Services says the dog wasn't hurt, and that his human got very lucky. Just imagine how serious it would have been if the blaze wasn't caught in time!
