Tortoise blamed for fire call

read here about a tortoise that started a house fire!

A giant tortoise named Crush is being blamed for starting a fire in the basement of its home.

Upon entering the basement, firefighters found the tortoise inside a 4-foot by 4-foot box filled with smoldering woodchips.

Duffy said the tortoise apparently knocked over its heat lamp.

“He’s low to the ground so the smoke didn’t get to him,” Costello said.

All I have to say is be careful and be certain how you setup your heat lamps so you don't start a fire of your own!
