Pets can cause house fires

[Catherine]

I agree, it was not the dog's fault. The kitchen was left in a way that was dangerous. The stove was cluttered with food and other stuff. I think most house fires could have been prevented. If the kitchen had been clean and uncluttered with nothing left out, the dog wouldn't have been able to do anything to cause a fire. Having the stove turned on by mistake is not a good thing, but it there was nothing to burn it would just have run up the gas bill and nothing else.

We are responsible for our pets in our homes. We should be making sure that nothing can go wrong.

I stopped using candles when I brought a bird into the house. It isn't just the bird itself, the feathers can float and catch fire.
