It was a chaotic scene when two dogs unintentionally caused a house fire by playing with a battery pack. The innocent-looking pups were caught red-handed on CCTV footage as they chewed through a lithium-ion battery, setting off sparks that quickly ignited a mattress on the ground. As the dogs and a cat looked on, the situation quickly escalated into a dangerous fire.
Thankfully, the home's residents were alerted to the fire and were able to safely evacuate. The two dogs and cat managed to escape through a dog door, unharmed by the flames. However, the same could not be said for the house, which sustained significant damage.
According to the Tulsa fire officials, it was the first time they had seen such an incident. The curious canines likely mistook the battery pack for a toy and their playful actions resulted in a destructive blaze. It serves as a reminder to pet owners to always keep potentially hazardous items out of reach from their furry friends.
The fire department reminded people to be cautious when handling lithium-ion batteries, as they can be dangerous if not handled properly. They also advised against leaving them unattended or within reach of pets, as this can lead to unforeseen accidents like the one in this situation.
Thankfully, no one was injured in the fire and the pets involved were able to escape unscathed. It serves as a cautionary tale to always keep a close eye on our beloved pets and to be mindful of potential hazards in our homes. Let's all do our part to prevent incidents like this from happening in the future.
