A couple in London mistook the stench of a kipper left on the kitchen counter for an electrical fire. Taking it even further, they apparently panicked and called the fire station. The firemen arrived and scanned the kitchen with a thermal imaging camera, before tracing the smell to the fish.
Myself, I’m still confused as to how a fish can smell like a fire. They’re both four-letter words beginning with ‘fi’, but the similarity ends there.
Oh well, at least some good came of it; the couple had their house outfitted with smoke detectors.
