New Delhi. Do you also leave the toaster or oven plugged in after working in the kitchen? If yes, then change this habit today itself. This carelessness of yours can not only burn your entire house to ashes but can also put the lives of the people living in it in danger. Due to this small mistake of a family in Maryland, America, the entire house got burnt. In this accident, three pets of the family got burnt to death and property worth about Rs 1.50 crore was also reduced to ashes.
This incident of fire was captured in the security camera installed in the house. Seeing this, it became clear how the house caught fire. If there were no CCTV, it would not have been known that leaving the toaster switch plugged in could lead to such a big accident. The fortunate thing was that at the time of the incident the owners of the house had gone out and no one else was present except the pets.
The dog started the toaster
The homeowners moved out, leaving their pet dogs, Bo, Eddie and Dakota, and two cats in the home. A toaster was kept on the kitchen counter. The toaster was already plugged into the switch board. The dog Bo came into the kitchen and jumped on the counter. Bo’s body touched the button attached to the plug of the toaster and it started. After this the toaster became so hot that something kept nearby caught fire. Within no time the fire engulfed the entire house.
