Talk About a Hot Dog

#1 Postby southerngale » Thu Oct 09, 2003 11:01 am

CULDESAC, Idaho - A dog who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time had its fur ignited when a vehicle backfired. The canine's fur then started a grass fire just off U.S. Highway 95. Firefigters doused the grass fire and reported the dog was uninjured, having only a burnt hair odor. "I have been in firefighting for many years, but I have never seen anything like this happen," Culdesac Fire Chief Gary Gilliam said. This happened Saturday when a driver put gas in the tank and then primed the carburetor.
When restarted, the van backfired, emitting sparks into the cab and igniting the dog's fur. A passenger let the dog out, and it rolled around in the dry grass, putting out the flames on its coat but lighting the grass on fire.
