Fire Crew Called To Put Out Christmas Pudding Fire
We are around 100 days away from Christmas but that didn’t stop a family from cooking one of Christmas’ most popular dishes. Somebody in Devon, UK, put a Christmas pudding in the microwave to cook, only to find it ablaze without warning.
Thick smoke started to come from the microwave as the homeowner called the fire service and ran around for help from the local authorities. The firefighters were ready to put out the blaze but were surprised to hear that it wasn’t the typical firestarter; like a match or candle. “On arrival the crews confirmed that this had been a small fire involving a Christmas pudding within a microwave,” the Devon & Somerset Fire and Rescue wrote.
Thankfully, after the blaze was defused, the fire didn’t cause a ton of damage. It was only restricted to the appliance, fortunately for the homeowner. This is a great lesson for all people who want to cook pudding or any food in the microwave – keep an eye on it.
