Leeds councillor claims Pop Tart to blame for toaster fire that nearly torched kitchen
Leeds councillor Karen Bruce said that a Pop Tart was to blame for a dramatic toaster fire that nearly torched her kitchen.
Coun Bruce, who represents Ardsley and Robin Hood, said she had been preparing the sugary breakfast treat for her daughter when she briefly left the room.
To her shock, she said that she returned to find the appliance ablaze on her kitchen countertop.
She has since shared advice from the West Yorkshire Fire Authority to prevent similar incidents.
