According to the BBC, the case took place on Christmas Eve in the town of Hockley and the animal and guardian are doing well.
One dog started a fire in a house in the town of Hockley, Essex, county south of UKafter accidentally turning on a hairdryer🇧🇷
It is on this hypothesis that the local firefighters work after being called with reports that the house was covered in smoke last Saturday 24, the eve of Christmas🇧🇷
According to BBC News, firefighters acted quickly to put out the blaze as soon as they found the fire in one of the rooms.
“The homeowner was away and when he returned to find his house filled with smoke. We believe the fire started because a hair dryer was left plugged in and on the bed,” manager Gary Shinn said.
“We think the dog may have jumped onto the bed and turned on the hair dryer, causing the bed and mattress to catch fire.”
A freak accident caused a fire in Hockley today. A dog jumped onto a bed and turned on a hair dryer, eventually causing it to light up the mattress.
Once you are done with all electrical appliances, unplug them.

Also according to the firefighters, the animal was waiting for the guardian at the door of the house when he arrived. Both were treated for smoke inhalation and are doing well.
“After you’re done using any electrical appliances like hair dryers and curling irons, take a moment to unplug,” Shinn warned.
