Firefighters have been tackling a fire – caused by a dog.
Both Selby fire crews were called out to a home in North Duffield at 10.27am this morning (Friday) after smoke was spotted coming from an upstairs window.
The fire was caused when clothing left on the cooker caught alight – with the “cause believed to be due to dog jumping up and switching hob on,” a North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service spokesperson said.
After starting the blaze, the dog – Molly, a Staffordshire terrier, suffered from breathing in smoke. She was found unconscious and carried out of the house by a firefighter.
Crews then administered CPR and oxygen and successfully revived her.
They also successfully extinguished the kitchen fire.
