A pan sitting on the hob, along with its contents, caught fire. The fire spread to the hob and part of the kitchen, causing approximately five square metres of fire damage. The house was also smoke damaged throughout.
Two fire engines from Scarborough attended and two firefighters in breathing apparatus used a hose reel to extinguish the fire. They also used positive pressure ventilation to clear smoke from the property.
The smoke alarms did go off, but the family only discovered the fire on their return. A spokesman from North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue said: “The puppy was unharmed. It is not known if the puppy managed to eat any of the Yorkshire puddings.”

If the puppy was home alone how do we know that's what happened? Can we be sure that the owner didn't just leave the hob on?
I mean why leave the kitchen half way through preparing dinner and go out?
