Firefighters save the bacon after pig poops pedometer and starts blaze

A peckish pig which ate a pedometer sparked a fire near Leeds.

Fire crews were called to a blaze covering 75 square metres at four pigpens in Bramham on Saturday afternoon.

The pedometer was used to prove the animal was free range.

The fire and rescue service said the fire was caused by “nature taking its course” and copper from the pedometer battery reacting with the pigpen’s contents.

“A hosereel was used to extinguish the fire and save the bacon,” the fire service said.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
