Dog rescued from fire in Perth flat

A dog was rescued by firefighters from a Perth flat after a pot had been left unattended on the cooker.

The incident in a ground-floor flat in Bute Drive was reported just before 9am by a neighbour who spotted smoke billowing from the window.

Two fire and rescue units attended and used breathing apparatus and a CO2 extinguisher to deal with the fire.

The pot and small dog which was unharmed were then taken from the empty flat.
