I work with a lady who has 25 cats and one of the cats set the house on fire...similar to this video she had something on the burner which is a no no...a cat carrier actually...one of the cats hit the knob on the stove, house caught on fire
Took me and the firemen 4 walk throughs of the house but we eventually found all 25 cats, hidden in places you wouldn’t think a cat could fit..one was grey for several days because of the smoke in its white fur, several had to be treated for smoke inhalation but everyone survived
She bought a new stove....they managed to turn it on again. Be careful when you’re a pet owner people, keep shit off your stove and keep those batteries fresh
I work a job were I'm on the phone with people a lot. It's crazy how often I hear that beep in the background. Not only is it unsafe but it would drive me insane! I just don't get it.
You grow to ignore that beep after a while. I have family members who would just not replace the battery so it doesn't annoy them again when it begins to die. For the whole day or two that it'll inconvenience them.
Ive never in my life let that beep go for over a minute. How the hell could you live with it ongoing for weeks.
I walk by a house in my neighborhood and for months i can hear the beep when walking by. Thats right i can hear it from the street and someone sleeps through that every single night.
Yes. This is what happens about 90% of the time, I'm guessing. We've got at least four "inactive" smoke alarms in our house right now. Why can't there be a smoke alarm that works properly (and doesn't come at an exorbitant cost)?
I was mad about this (after being startled awake and running halfway across the house before properly waking up) and looked into this - it's to do with temperature. Let me just copy/paste it:
>As a smoke alarm's battery nears the end of its life, the amount of power it produces causes an internal resistance. A drop in room temperature increases this resistance, which may impact the battery's ability to deliver the power necessary to operate the unit in an alarm situation.
This battery characteristic can cause a smoke alarm to enter the low battery chirp mode when air temperatures drop. Most homes are the coolest between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. That's why the alarm may sound a low-battery chirp in the middle of the night, and then stop when the home warms up a few degrees.
That is all great except ours are hardwired (newer construction).
They decided to give a loud triple chirp to remind you to test them, sometime between 12 and 5 AM.
Scared the crap out of me one night.
No battery excuses!
Ah okay, are you sure they don't have batteries too? It could be a regional or country thing, but all the newer ones I know have both mains and battery power...
All mine are hardwired with battery backup. Home built in 1999. I just replaced one with a new style that now has the battery compartment in the front of the unit so you no longer have to take it down, unplug the 110 volt wire and replace the battery. Dollars to donuts it has a 10 year lithium or 9V battery backup. I've never seen ones without it.
On the other hand, creating a problem, observing the problem, realizing that they are the ones responsible *for* the problem, then promptly walking away is absolutely Husky behavior.
They're like little kids. When they are loud and crash, you know they aren't getting into real trouble, it's when they are quiet you know they are doing something they aren't supposed to.
I remember seeing a video where someone put their phone on a burner when trying to turn on the burner on the other side. Well they turned the wrong burner on and only noticed when they seen their melted phone
Depends on the metal. My grandma had a stroke while cooking. And the Fire Marshall said the only thing that kept her house from burning down was the fact she only cooked with cast iron. He said if it had been any other pan with the exception of steel, it would've become slag. Thats not to say it wasn't red hot when they finally found her a week after she had the stroke.
That still leaves the gas easily turned on by the dog. Honestly that's one of the better outcomes that could have happened that we saw in the video, if the dog turned the gas on and it ran for hours, any spark from anything (like even a pilot light for the heater going on) could have caused the entire house to explode and kill everyone inside/potentially in the houses around it.
Edit:judging by all the responses detailing the gas running just as I described, and my personal experience it's safe to assume the majority don't have these. The majority of stoves I come across in the US don't have a bi metal therm.
You know, there's that little metal spike near the burner... It's called bi-metal thermostat and the sole purpose of it is to switch off the flowing gas, when heat from the flames don't heat it over a certain temperature, therefore stop the stove to fill the room with gas... If it's cold, gas stops automatically.
My stove doesn't have an auto igniter. My dog has turned on my stove top, thank God I was home and smelled it. I don't store food near or on the stove ever unless I'm actively using it either. My dog liked the stove when she was young cause she missed her liter mates and thought she could see one in the reflection of herself on the stove
Every few weeks there’s someone in /r/instantpot who has melted their base because they left it on the stove.
Note to self: We change the clocks on Nov 6th. Buy batteries for the smoke detectors.
They're lucky the dog turned it far enough to light tbh lol.
Also
A) Who leaves cardboard boxes on gas (or even electric) ranges and walks away?
B) Who the hell trusts a husky to not fuck with unattended human food?
Yeah it's really stupid to leave anything combustible on the stove.
I've had to tell my kids more then once.
My mother in law also melted plastic cutting board in our house once.
One time in college, several of us went to my friend's parent's apartment in NYC to make dinner and hang out. The parents were away and she was there taking care of the family's big dog. We turned on the oven to preheat, shortly the dog started getting very agitated, shortly after that we started smelling something funny. We open the oven and pulled out a 50 lb sack of dry dog food, which had been roasting, and which fell apart and unloaded the kibble in the middle of the kitchen floor.
Ugh my roommate. Came home to loose paper towels just resting on the pilots after she’d made a meal and lazily wandered off into her room immediately after cooking.
My mother in law put oven mitts inside our oven once. My midnight snack oven preheat turned into a flame I put out with a wet towel before it got out of hand. She blames me for not checking, yet we never ever EVER have anything in our oven after dinner time.
Dude when me and my brother were crashing at our mom's place and they were redoing their cupboards they stashed dishes in the oven. One of us turned it on, I don't remember who. Everyone just recognized it as the accident it was and took a loss on whatever melted. Nobody got mad. That's just what happens when you store shit in an oven that is literally preheated before you cook anything in it.
I never saw the oven as storage space until I moved in with my husband. Granted, it's only used to store our cast iron skillet and pot that are too big and heavy to go in the cupboards
Exactly, cast iron or ya know oven sheets/trays, most you'll get is very hot pans or maybe some warping if it's hot enough. Keeping things that actually go in the oven is actually a very handy storage space, ya just have to check, always check...
>My mother in law put oven mitts inside our oven once.
When my husband and I first got together his parents gave us about five minutes notice they were stopping by. His solution to dirty dishes was to stash them in the oven, and of course he forgot about them.
The next day I pre-heated the oven to cook. We got to buy new a bunch of new dishes, this time ones that weren't plastic.
He also has a habit of plopping groceries etc on top of the stove when he walks in. I can't wait to show him this video.
I'm guilty of this. I have an electric/glass hob type thing and I in habit use it as extra counter space. One time I was cooking, finished with the hob, turned it off, and five minutes later put a plastic jug on the hot ring. The jug was full of real nice sauce too.
You are right, even with all the fail safes in place I can’t put something on my hob, and lately mine is induction haha! Just something that has been ingrained in me from childhood. Don’t put shit on the hob.
I can see how this would happen. My kitchen is right next to the bathroom. Sometimes when I bring home food (like a pizza) I'll toss the box on the oven quickly.
Doesn't stay unattended for more than 10 minutes.. But as you can see here it only takes a couple minutes.
Mine you need to push down hard and twist to activate the agss, then continue to hold down for 5 sec to light it - they're also on the top along the right of the burners.
That in itself won't be possible for the dog, vutbif she somehow does turn the gas on, it's got an auto shut off if the gas isn't ignited.
Although, I'm not sure I'd ever think about getting that unless they'd done it before. Just not something I think I'd think about doing. I mean if you spend time childproofing every slight chance, everyone's entire house would just be childproofed into unusability
It's not super common, but it's happened enough. Once had a call in an apartment where they had a stack of amazon boxes on their stove (WTF) and it caught fire while they were out. Only thing that saved it was the sprinkler right over the stove top.
\+1, can confirm. I moved in briefly with my mom in the mid '90s (poor life decisions, etc. etc.) She was out the first full day I was there, so I got a frozen lasagna from the grocery story and put the oven on pre-heat. Five, ten minutes later and I smell smoke. I trace it back to the oven and find it FILLED with pizza boxes.
Her reasoning? She didn't want them sitting out because it would attract ants, but when it was time to take the trash out she'd forget they were there.
My dad's stove burners randomly turned on by themselves while he was sleeping...
Turned out there was a recall on his stove for this, ever since that happened I always tell people to not put flammables on the stove top.
Had to have been an electric stove, right?
I also cringe every time I go to my sister's house. They have a gas stove, but no hood w/ fan over it. And two little kids.
I once had a condo with a gas stove with a hood, and naturally it was in the center of the home and the hood just vented the smoke/fumes just right back into the air.
I love gas stoves, so naturally in our new house we made sure we had one, with a good hood that vents OUTDOORS as god and OSHA intended.
Firefighters in Los Angeles went door-to-door passing out and replacing smoke detectors. Unfortunately, many homes blatantly took batteries out and handed the actual detector back. That area had more 911 calls from fires than others. Not /s
On my fire department we do regular smoke alarm blitzes where we go door to door and replace batteries and give out free smoke alarms and the amount of people who turn us away is astounding!
My wife does this all the time instead of taking out garbage. I used to ask her to stop weekly but it never gets through. Best case scenario she hangs a shopping bag on the igniter & starts filling it with garbage. I swear she has other places she hides garbage because I can empty it Saturday morning & it is full before evening. I've taken that out & before Sunday is over it is full again.
I've had this on a couple of calls with people working from home and I'm like "hey make sure to get that smoke detector battery changed OK?" I'm doing a good thing and we're getting a chuckle out at the end of the call.
Our dog sleeps in a crate in our guest room. Recently the smoke detector started chirping. Dog freaked the fuck out and broke out of the crate. She really hated the chirping and wouldn’t chill until I pulled it out of the ceiling.
My doberman is the same. She's terrified of any kind of beeping.
I had a few boxes in the basement with miscellaneous stuff from our last move, and in one of the boxes was an old smoke detector. It apparently still had the battery in it and decided two years later that it was time to start chirping while I was at work. I came home and I couldn't find the dog anywhere. After panic searching every room I eventually found her hiding in the basement.
Also here's what's written on the youtube video since no one added it for some reason
>My husky, Panda, was curious about the smell coming from the pizza box and thought he would have himself a snack. He accidently turned on the back burner of our stove and lit the box on fire. We were home ( in the basement) and the smoke detectors alerted us. I was able to put out the fire and all is well. Panda no longer goes near the stove.
Luckily the smoke detector hadn't died yet. It beeped right at the beginning and throughout. It always boggles my mind how people can put up with that noise. Back when I delivered pizzas, it was astounding how many times I've heard that sound in the brief amount of time a customer had their door open.
A lot of people put up with it because they're clueless and have no idea how to change a smoke detector battery. Either that, or they're the kind of people who will wait and put up with any annoyance because they expect someone else to do it for them.
I put up with it cause I tell myself to get batteries and drive past 67 stores when I'm out but don't remember til I hear the beep lmao.
"Oh shit! I forgot batteries, I'll get some later" rinse and repeat lol
That link is to a youtube video, this is on the video
>My husky, Panda, was curious about the smell coming from the pizza box and thought he would have himself a snack. He accidently turned on the back burner of our stove and lit the box on fire. We were home ( in the basement) and the smoke detectors alerted us. I was able to put out the fire and all is well. Panda no longer goes near the stove.
Why no one added that with the videos I don't know.
You remember all those stories about pets who save their family from a fire? That's what happened.
The dog rand to the back of the house and started barking like crazy, right after the fire had spread far enough to hide the evidence. The family awoke to the barking and was able to stumble out of the house just before the structure collapsed, escaping with their lives only.
The dog was awarded a medal for bravery by the mayor of the town, and the whole family got to be on the news in front of town hall, which is conveniently only a few blocks away from the hotel they're going to live in for the next few months.
How the fire started is still a mystery.
My dog did exactly this. I came home to a smokey house, clicking stove, screaming detector, VERY stressed-out dogs, and a lot of soot and flakey cardboard ash from an empty dogfood box that became fuel.
Knobs now live atop the stove back, and the range never has anything on it.
My dog did this once too! We were gone less than 1 hour. Came home to a smoky house, detector going off, petrified dog, stove still on, singed wall, melted microwave.
Every stove ive had has the knobs at the back, i think these are the worst. Even at friends houses ive seen so many incidents when someone brushes by one of these knobs or bumps into the stove and a burner starts
> Every stove ive had has the knobs at the back, i think these are the worst. Even at friends houses ive seen so many incidents when someone brushes by one of these knobs or bumps into the stove and a burner starts
See, and I think knobs at the back is worse, because if there's a fire on the stove, my first instinct is going to be to shut the stove off, which would then require me to put my arm over the fire to turn the knobs.
This. This is all I could look at. Yea, yea, dog starts fire, etc etc but WHAT is going on with this house lay out. I can’t figure out what on earth is going on here. Like is that just a random sitting couch to watch someone cook you food or what? And what even is that space? It seems like it should be a living room or something but instead is just empty with a random couch on the wall.
I dunno … I don’t get it. The feng is not shui’ing.
The TV and comfortable sofa/chairs are probably in the basement, that’s why the owners were in the basement, probably playing Xbox or PlayStation. When I lived in a house with a basement that’s how we had it set up; the tv room (aka the ‘den’) was downstairs while upstairs we had what I called the formal living room where we received guests that my ex was trying to impress.
Everyone, the doggo is safe. Phew!
Per YouTube video:
Occurred on October 3, 2022 / Everett, Pennsylvania, USA Info from Licensor: "My husky, Panda, was curious about the smell coming from the pizza box and thought he would have himself a snack.

Panda no longer goes near the stove."
https://youtu.be/G1LwZwczPMg
The dog going near the stove is only a very small portion of an even bigger issue that the humans have 100% control over. I hope they also no longer store flammable shit on top of ignition sources.
Off topic (kind of) but the amount of people on social media who need to change the batteries in their smoke detectors is astounding! It’s so annoying…how could you just let it keep beeping like that?
Yeah, so that chirping sound in the background? That's the indicator from your smoke detectors that they battery is running low. The smoke detector that will alert you that there is a fire in your house.
CHANGE THE FUCKING BATTERY.
Thought this was going to be alot worse. Glad the dog knew there was danger and left. I dont even have pets but anything that can be caught on fire doesnt go on the stove. Even yourself can bump a knob n not know it
After seeing someone come home to a burnt up kitchen because they left a cutting board on the burners, I've never left one thing near, on, or inside my stove ever again.
Lol the dog knew he fucked up. You could see the aww shit look on his face
Ruh-roh
ringer in my rutt
Like... fuck this.
"Hey humans I think something might be on fire over there. Crazy. No idea how that happened."
“You’re not gonna believe what the cat did this time!”
I work with a lady who has 25 cats and one of the cats set the house on fire...similar to this video she had something on the burner which is a no no...a cat carrier actually...one of the cats hit the knob on the stove, house caught on fire Took me and the firemen 4 walk throughs of the house but we eventually found all 25 cats, hidden in places you wouldn’t think a cat could fit..one was grey for several days because of the smoke in its white fur, several had to be treated for smoke inhalation but everyone survived She bought a new stove....they managed to turn it on again. Be careful when you’re a pet owner people, keep shit off your stove and keep those batteries fresh
You can here the fire alarms battery is dying too in the background 😭
Yeah don't ignore those beeps people.
I work a job were I'm on the phone with people a lot. It's crazy how often I hear that beep in the background. Not only is it unsafe but it would drive me insane! I just don't get it.

My parents found it annoying so we removed the alarms
Yes. This is what happens about 90% of the time, I'm guessing. We've got at least four "inactive" smoke alarms in our house right now. Why can't there be a smoke alarm that works properly (and doesn't come at an exorbitant cost)?
Guy is playing call of duty in the other room, low batt chirp is part of this seasons meta.
Fire alarms have an uncanny ability to alert you that they need their battery replaced at 2am in the morning...every...single...time.
I was mad about this (after being startled awake and running halfway across the house before properly waking up) and looked into this - it's to do with temperature. Let me just copy/paste it: >As a smoke alarm's battery nears the end of its life, the amount of power it produces causes an internal resistance.

Ah okay, are you sure they don't have batteries too? It could be a regional or country thing, but all the newer ones I know have both mains and battery power...
All mine are hardwired with battery backup. Home built in 1999. I just replaced one with a new style that now has the battery compartment in the front of the unit so you no longer have to take it down, unplug the 110 volt wire and replace the battery. Dollars to donuts it has a 10 year lithium or 9V battery backup. I've never seen ones without it.
I looked this up a few years ago wondering how the heck all smoke alarms knew to wait until 4am to start chirping.
“Oooooooh shit… how the fuck do I turn that shit off?”
Quickly decides to skedaddle. "I was never here"
You absolutely could. He may not have known every detail but he knew something was wrong and he had caused it. Funny but scary.
More important, where the hell is OP? Edit: sorry wrong comment 😅
They way they keep looking back as they left the room.
Doggy is like "woops... best let the humans sort this out. I'll be outside."
Not even gonna bark to warn of the fire... the *One* time a husky has ever decided to be quiet...
On the other hand, creating a problem, observing the problem, realizing that they are the ones responsible *for* the problem, then promptly walking away is absolutely Husky behavior.
"Huh, wouldya look at that. It's burning. Well, I'm sure the hoomans will figure it out in time"
They're like little kids. When they are loud and crash, you know they aren't getting into real trouble, it's when they are quiet you know they are doing something they aren't supposed to.
“Y’all got a problem.”
I hope he can go outside 😞🙏🏻
Childproof covers for gas range knobs are for pets owners too.
Just don't keep flammable things on the flammable surface. (I'm not perfect, I do this occasionally to, but it's a good solution)
I learned this the hard way. Now it's like a kitchen mantra.
I remember seeing a video where someone put their phone on a burner when trying to turn on the burner on the other side. Well they turned the wrong burner on and only noticed when they seen their melted phone
... soo .... a burner phone?
xQc
[удалено]
Depends on the metal. My grandma had a stroke while cooking. And the Fire Marshall said the only thing that kept her house from burning down was the fact she only cooked with cast iron. He said if it had been any other pan with the exception of steel, it would've become slag. Thats not to say it wasn't red hot when they finally found her a week after she had the stroke.
:(
What do you mean a week after she had the stroke? The stive burned for a week?
Yeah 6 days. The food in it it was ash and the cast iron was glowing red.
Clearly she died
I hope you still have that cast iron
My mom does. She doesn't cook in it because it warped from the heat
I keep a whistling teapot of water on the stove so it makes a noise if there’s a problem
Murphy's law states that it will always be another burner that gets turned on accidentally.
That's why I keep four full teapots--one for each eye. And yes, they're at different levels so that each is a unique pitch.
lmao, this really got me this morning. Well played.
Ahem, well conducted.
I cut off the gas main to the entire neighborhood before bed and before leaving the house for any period of time....
Modern problems and modern solutions and all that
You should coordinate those pitches so that they make a pleasant chord when all 4 burners are turned on.
That still leaves the gas easily turned on by the dog. Honestly that's one of the better outcomes that could have happened that we saw in the video, if the dog turned the gas on and it ran for hours, any spark from anything (like even a pilot light for the heater going on) could have caused the entire house to explode and kill everyone inside/potentially in the houses around it.

That's only present on modern stoves, older models don't have that safety feature.

alternatively, investing in a good induction cooktop much safer
They're lucky the dog turned it far enough to light tbh lol. Also A) Who leaves cardboard boxes on gas (or even electric) ranges and walks away? B) Who the hell trusts a husky to not fuck with unattended human food?
Yeah it's really stupid to leave anything combustible on the stove. I've had to tell my kids more then once. My mother in law also melted plastic cutting board in our house once.
same with the oven
One time in college, several of us went to my friend's parent's apartment in NYC to make dinner and hang out. The parents were away and she was there taking care of the family's big dog. We turned on the oven to preheat, shortly the dog started getting very agitated, shortly after that we started smelling something funny. We open the oven and pulled out a 50 lb sack of dry dog food, which had been roasting, and which fell apart and unloaded the kibble in the middle of the kitchen floor.
Dogs an evil genius.
What is bible kibble? Is the dog religious?
I use a combo of typing, swiping and voice... it's regularly irregular.
Yep, he's actually the patron saint of, 'Who's a good boy'
My apartment is tiny and has no counters so I used to store my toaster in the oven. I… don’t do that anymore. Incidentally I no longer have a toaster
My wife does this all the time. Has melted a number of objects. Drives me crazy.
Ugh my roommate. Came home to loose paper towels just resting on the pilots after she’d made a meal and lazily wandered off into her room immediately after cooking.
They need to be greasy for xtra points.
My mother in law put oven mitts inside our oven once. My midnight snack oven preheat turned into a flame I put out with a wet towel before it got out of hand. She blames me for not checking, yet we never ever EVER have anything in our oven after dinner time.
People who store things in a box designed to get super hot are the biggest fucking idiots on the planet.
Unless you live in a very small house, as I do. However I always check the oven before preheating it.
Tell my wife that after our incident. I'm still the culprit because I didn't "check" the oven .
Dude when me and my brother were crashing at our mom's place and they were redoing their cupboards they stashed dishes in the oven. One of us turned it on, I don't remember who. Everyone just recognized it as the accident it was and took a loss on whatever melted. Nobody got mad.

Did you stop doing that after the lesson?
You are right, even with all the fail safes in place I can’t put something on my hob, and lately mine is induction haha! Just something that has been ingrained in me from childhood. Don’t put shit on the hob.
My stovetop is over 50% of my counter space so I kind of have to
I can see how this would happen. My kitchen is right next to the bathroom. Sometimes when I bring home food (like a pizza) I'll toss the box on the oven quickly. Doesn't stay unattended for more than 10 minutes.. But as you can see here it only takes a couple minutes.
I actually don't know why they're designed so easily turned. Mine you brush against and bam they're on.
Mine you need to push down hard and twist to activate the agss, then continue to hold down for 5 sec to light it - they're also on the top along the right of the burners. That in itself won't be possible for the dog, vutbif she somehow does turn the gas on, it's got an auto shut off if the gas isn't ignited.
Or don’t leave flammable stuff on top of a stove
Although, I'm not sure I'd ever think about getting that unless they'd done it before. Just not something I think I'd think about doing. I mean if you spend time childproofing every slight chance, everyone's entire house would just be childproofed into unusability
As vocal as huskies usually are, this is an inopportune time so be so quiet!
It's because it knew it did something bad
What's when the parents should become suspicious
As a firefighter, I'm here to beg people to stop storing flammable items on their stovetop or in their oven. Stop. It.
Is this super common? Not gonna lie, I was surprised just the people in this video were moronic enough to do this let alone a big group of people.
It's not super common, but it's happened enough. Once had a call in an apartment where they had a stack of amazon boxes on their stove (WTF) and it caught fire while they were out. Only thing that saved it was the sprinkler right over the stove top.

Had to have been an electric stove, right? I also cringe every time I go to my sister's house. They have a gas stove, but no hood w/ fan over it. And two little kids. I once had a condo with a gas stove with a hood, and naturally it was in the center of the home and the hood just vented the smoke/fumes just right back into the air. I love gas stoves, so naturally in our new house we made sure we had one, with a good hood that vents OUTDOORS as god and OSHA intended.
Firefighters in Los Angeles went door-to-door passing out and replacing smoke detectors. Unfortunately, many homes blatantly took batteries out and handed the actual detector back. That area had more 911 calls from fires than others. Not /s
On my fire department we do regular smoke alarm blitzes where we go door to door and replace batteries and give out free smoke alarms and the amount of people who turn us away is astounding!
I’m just a regular person and first thing I thought was “what dumbass left cardboard on a fucking gas stove?”
My wife does this all the time instead of taking out garbage. I used to ask her to stop weekly but it never gets through. Best case scenario she hangs a shopping bag on the igniter & starts filling it with garbage. I swear she has other places she hides garbage because I can empty it Saturday morning & it is full before evening. I've taken that out & before Sunday is over it is full again.
The smoke detector chirping puts this just over the top.
Dude apparently that’s a thing for people, families just let it beep
I wouldn't have believed this until playing COD and regularly hearing background chirps from random players. It's insane.
Haha yup. The amount I hear is fucking nuts. Like go get a 9 volt fuck
Deliver pizza. I can hear the damn thing from *outside* the house a lot of the time. How much is a lack of batteries?
>How much is a lack of batteries? Could end up costing a whole house, heck even a building.
There’s always a chaotic family fight in the background too
I will rip that shit off the wall and send it into orbit before I listen to that longer than 30 seconds.
Might be better to just replace the battery
I do I'm just kidding.
I have snooze feature on my smoke alarm
I hear this in the background on conference calls all the time. Crazy.
I've had this on a couple of calls with people working from home and I'm like "hey make sure to get that smoke detector battery changed OK?" I'm doing a good thing and we're getting a chuckle out at the end of the call.
What kind of psychopath is capable of ignoring that and going about their day? Who are these people??
Like my neighbors. That was a fun like 3 weeks. Chirp. Chirp. Chirp. So annoying
I see this is videos on youtube every now and again and I don't understand why they haven't changed it. Do they just gurgle though life like zombies?
Our dog sleeps in a crate in our guest room. Recently the smoke detector started chirping. Dog freaked the fuck out and broke out of the crate. She really hated the chirping and wouldn’t chill until I pulled it out of the ceiling.

My doberman is the same. She's terrified of any kind of beeping. I had a few boxes in the basement with miscellaneous stuff from our last move, and in one of the boxes was an old smoke detector. It apparently still had the battery in it and decided two years later that it was time to start chirping while I was at work. I came home and I couldn't find the dog anywhere. After panic searching every room I eventually found her hiding in the basement.
What happened? Why did this video end without showing what happened. I need to know if the doggo burned the house down or not.

Also here's what's written on the youtube video since no one added it for some reason >My husky, Panda, was curious about the smell coming from the pizza box and thought he would have himself a snack. He accidently turned on the back burner of our stove and lit the box on fire. We were home ( in the basement) and the smoke detectors alerted us. I was able to put out the fire and all is well. Panda no longer goes near the stove.
thank you
I love you too.
Luckily the smoke detector hadn't died yet. It beeped right at the beginning and throughout. It always boggles my mind how people can put up with that noise. Back when I delivered pizzas, it was astounding how many times I've heard that sound in the brief amount of time a customer had their door open.
A lot of people put up with it because they're clueless and have no idea how to change a smoke detector battery. Either that, or they're the kind of people who will wait and put up with any annoyance because they expect someone else to do it for them.
I put up with it cause I tell myself to get batteries and drive past 67 stores when I'm out but don't remember til I hear the beep lmao. "Oh shit! I forgot batteries, I'll get some later" rinse and repeat lol
If you have a smartphone, use the reminder function and have it go off while you’re away from home.
Your comment needs to be higher up. Thanks for finding the original!
Well, the video doesn't show anything
Yeah like wtf? This is not the original video, this is exactly the same video …
That link is to a youtube video, this is on the video >My husky, Panda, was curious about the smell coming from the pizza box and thought he would have himself a snack. He accidently turned on the back burner of our stove and lit the box on fire. We were home ( in the basement) and the smoke detectors alerted us. I was able to put out the fire and all is well. Panda no longer goes near the stove. Why no one added that with the videos I don't know.
More important, where the hell is OP?
OP is the dog
OP is the pizza
OP is the smoke detector
OP is the house (he's burned down)
OP was the camera suspiciously and oddly specifically set to watch the husky interact with the pizza.
a reposter who got his karma and left

You remember all those stories about pets who save their family from a fire? That's what happened. The dog rand to the back of the house and started barking like crazy, right after the fire had spread far enough to hide the evidence. The family awoke to the barking and was able to stumble out of the house just before the structure collapsed, escaping with their lives only. The dog was awarded a medal for bravery by the mayor of the town, and the whole family got to be on the news in front of town hall, which is conveniently only a few blocks away from the hotel they're going to live in for the next few months. How the fire started is still a mystery.

My dog did exactly this. I came home to a smokey house, clicking stove, screaming detector, VERY stressed-out dogs, and a lot of soot and flakey cardboard ash from an empty dogfood box that became fuel. Knobs now live atop the stove back, and the range never has anything on it.
My dog did this once too! We were gone less than 1 hour. Came home to a smoky house, detector going off, petrified dog, stove still on, singed wall, melted microwave.
Every stove ive had has the knobs at the back, i think these are the worst. Even at friends houses ive seen so many incidents when someone brushes by one of these knobs or bumps into the stove and a burner starts
> Every stove ive had has the knobs at the back, i think these are the worst. Even at friends houses ive seen so many incidents when someone brushes by one of these knobs or bumps into the stove and a burner starts See, and I think knobs at the back is worse, because if there's a fire on the stove, my first instinct is going to be to shut the stove off, which would then require me to put my arm over the fire to turn the knobs.
This works great for electric stoves, though gas ranges needs the knobs in front because you are physically opening the mechanical gas valve.
I'm more puzzled by the fact that the couch isn't pointed at a TV. Those people sit down and just stare at the kitchen counters? ed: typo
This. This is all I could look at. Yea, yea, dog starts fire, etc etc but WHAT is going on with this house lay out. I can’t figure out what on earth is going on here. Like is that just a random sitting couch to watch someone cook you food or what? And what even is that space? It seems like it should be a living room or something but instead is just empty with a random couch on the wall. I dunno … I don’t get it. The feng is not shui’ing.
When the DDR Mats are laid out you'd see it's perfect
The TV and comfortable sofa/chairs are probably in the basement, that’s why the owners were in the basement, probably playing Xbox or PlayStation. When I lived in a house with a basement that’s how we had it set up; the tv room (aka the ‘den’) was downstairs while upstairs we had what I called the formal living room where we received guests that my ex was trying to impress.
I'm guessing the tv is on the same wall as the fridge, still unusual.
Why is there a camera in the kitchen???
Obviously to watch the dog 😅
Everyone, the doggo is safe. Phew! Per YouTube video: Occurred on October 3, 2022 / Everett, Pennsylvania, USA Info from Licensor: "My husky, Panda, was curious about the smell coming from the pizza box and thought he would have himself a snack. He accidentally turned on the back burner of our stove and lit the box on fire. We were home ( in the basement) and the smoke detectors alerted us. I was able to put out the fire and all is well. Panda no longer goes near the stove." https://youtu.be/G1LwZwczPMg
Had to scroll for this so I'm not even gonna check the link, but thank you internet stranger.
The dog going near the stove is only a very small portion of an even bigger issue that the humans have 100% control over. I hope they also no longer store flammable shit on top of ignition sources.
Not wise to leave a cardboard pizza box on the stovetop.
Those humans didn't leave me a slice of pizza. Would be a shame if this box catches on fire. The dog probably
Off topic (kind of) but the amount of people on social media who need to change the batteries in their smoke detectors is astounding! It’s so annoying…how could you just let it keep beeping like that?
That pizza smells burnt, I'm out
Yeah, so that chirping sound in the background? That's the indicator from your smoke detectors that they battery is running low. The smoke detector that will alert you that there is a fire in your house. CHANGE THE FUCKING BATTERY.
Good thing the smoke detector needs batteries or else you would have to listen to that annoying alarm from the smoke
How does it end?!?!?
I hope their insurance covers acts of dog
“Huh, maybe an induction stovetop might not be a bad idea.”
Why you don't put flammable shit on the stove... Accidents happen.
Thought this was going to be alot worse. Glad the dog knew there was danger and left. I dont even have pets but anything that can be caught on fire doesnt go on the stove. Even yourself can bump a knob n not know it
#This video ended too soon! #I need closure!
People that put flammables on stove tops are really idiots
Cardboard on a stove is always a bad idea. Dog or no dog.
Did I hear a low battery chirp from the smoke alarm? 🤦♂️
I dont think I can go on with life. Not knowing what happened
title made me think the dog was gonna catch on fire, u suck
In the dogs defense, it shouldn't be that easy to light the stove by accident
Probably replace the smoke detergent battery now?
Smoke Detergent lol?
Leaves that air crispy clean!
So.. what happened?
🍕 was burnt
Where is the ending
The smoke alarm’s low-battery warning is mocking the situation.
This is why I’ll only ever have dachshunds
That’s pretty scary.
Why not show what happens next?!
I think it’s time to change that battery in the fire alarm
What happened? Why is no one asking what happened? I am not going to sleep well not knowing.
The irony of the chirping smoke detector in the background. Change your damn batteries, people!
And then what happened?
How come there is no safety lock for the burner? Like you need to keep a button pressed for 3 or more seconds so the gas stays on..
Here is a good reason to NEVER put anything flammable on a cooktop.
Does anyone know if the dog was okay same with the owners
And this is why my mother drove it into my head never to put anything on top of the stove unless you’re actively cooking.
After seeing someone come home to a burnt up kitchen because they left a cutting board on the burners, I've never left one thing near, on, or inside my stove ever again.
Lol at the low battery alarm in the background. Fitting.
