Two pets were rescued from a North Bay kitchen fire Monday morning after the dog reportedly jumped on the stove. The owner was not home during the incident.

Crews launched an interior attack and conducted searches, rescuing the family dog and cat. Oxygen given to pets A pair of firefighters giving two household pets oxygen on June 2, 2025. (Supplied/North Bay Fire and Emergency Services) Both pets were given oxygen and are expected to recover. The fire was extinguished less than 30 minutes later. Authorities have confirmed that the homeowner was not present at the time of the fire – a neighbour, alerted by the home's working smoke alarm, noticed smoke and called 911. Early detection helped prevent significant damage. Investigators believe the fire started when the family dog jumped onto the stove, accidentally turning on a burner and igniting items left on the stovetop. A damage estimate has not yet been determined. This marks the second kitchen fire in less than a week in North Bay. Fire officials urged residents to take precautions, including keeping stovetops clear of combustibles, using stove knob covers, and ensuring smoke alarms are functional. 'We're sharing this message because this is a real risk and these fires are preventable,' said Fire Chief Jason Whiteley. 'Help us keep your home and loved ones safe by taking simple, proactive steps.'

Yukon wildfire fighters battle blazes across the prairies
Yukon wildfire fighters are off to Alberta and Saskatchewan to help fight a major wildfire outbreak. "We've got a low fire danger rating here" said Haley Ritchie, an information officer with Yukon Wildland Fire. "So it's a good time for us to be able to help out." Both provinces have seen massive evacuations due to wildfires and a number of rural communities have also declared states of emergency. Five attack crews and an agency representative went to Alberta. The 21 people are accompanied by an L188 Electra heavy air tanker for aerial firefighting, along with the plane's two pilots and a dedicated mechanic. "They're such specialized aircraft that they come with their own personnel, who travel with the plane," said Ritchie. She said Yukon Wildfland Fire does not own the air tanker, but contracts it out for the season. A spokesperson for the Alberta government said Yukon crews are battling the Swan complex fire near Slave Lake. It's the hardest hit part of Alberta, where more than 88,000 hectares have already burned. The Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre puts out the request for wildfire fighters, Ritchie said. Once they arrive within the province or territory, the local agency coordinates who goes where. Meanwhile, a division supervisor and trainee from the Yukon are also on their way to Saskatchewan to help out with personnel logistics there. "Hopefully in the future, we'll be able to get support when we need it too," said Ritchie. She said if the fire situation were to change in the Yukon, crews could be pulled back within 24 hours. A cool and damp spring has meant a slow start to wildfire season in the Yukon, where just four hectares have burned so far. Personnel are allowed to be deployed for 19 days in total, including travel time.

Your daily horoscope: June 3, 2025
As an air sign you are good at adapting to new situations and that will be a factor in your favour over the coming year. Others may be worried by the frenzied pace of change but for you it will be exciting and full of opportunity. It may be true that you have all the facts on your side but that won't stop friends and colleagues saying and doing stupid things. Some people cling so tightly to their illusions that day becomes night even though the sun is still shining. You may think that other people should be taking on more of the workload but just telling them to do it won't change a thing. You need to find a way to make it financially painful for them if they carry on avoiding their responsibilities. If you get too involved in your daily routine you could miss out on a creative opportunity of some kind. Do what has to be done and do it well but keep one eye open and don't be afraid to drop everything if a better offer comes along. As one of the zodiac's more sensitive signs you are usually good at spotting when a family member is feeling low. If that is the feeling you sense today you must do what you can to raise their spirits. Start by reminding them how much you love them. Your leadership skills will be much in demand over the next 24 hours, so much so that you may have to ration yourself! Help those who clearly need it the most and tell those you can't help today to ask you again tomorrow. The fact that you gained from someone else's misfortune is no big deal so long as you did not engineer that misfortune for them. Life gives and life takes and over time we all get what we need and deserve the most. Tell them that. Your confidence is such that you honestly believe you can do almost anything, but take notice of the word 'almost' because one or two objectives may still be beyond you. Later in the week though they will come within reach as well. You may be concerned that you are not making the most of your chances but don't worry about it too much because there will be other opportunities to shine. Come the end of the week you will be spoilt for choice. If you owe someone a favour you must pay it back quickly. Even if they say they don't expect anything in return you can be sure they will want something from you in the future. It may cost less if you repay the favour now. You may be pretty straightforward in your dealings but some of the people you are going to have to deal with between now and the end of the week will be sneaky in the extreme. Keep your wits about you and don't let anyone make decisions for you. If you want to make your life both simpler and happier then a major clear-out of your possessions is a must. Find a new home for anything that no longer serves a clear purpose for you but which could be of benefit to other people. If someone you work or do business with keeps making life difficult for you then get ruthless and tell them your partnership is at an end. You don't need them today, you won't need them tomorrow and you probably didn't need them yesterday either. Discover more about yourself at
