LACEY TOWNSHIP, N.J. —Police say a New Jersey family’s dog turned on the stove, which caught the laptop resting on the burner on fire and sent smoke through the roof.
The fire was reported early Friday evening in Lacey Township while the owners were away.
Police tell the Asbury Park Press that investigators believe the dog accidentally turned on the stove, though they didn’t specify how that occurred.
The blaze was quickly extinguished.
Firefighters rescued the dog, which emerged unscathed.
