The dog Pooch Chi Chi managed to open the door and let a fire crew in after his owner collapsed on the kitchen floor.

Responders were searching for another entrance when they heard a “click” as the dog managed to unlock the door to let them in, They found the man, named only as Mr Green, collapsed on the floor in the kitchen as the fire took hold on the hob. Firefighters then swiftly put out the fire and carried out first aid until paramedics(急救医士)arrived.

Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service said “a potential disaster” was averted with help from the dog. They said they were called to the scene after a smoke detector was activated and a Careline alarm was sounded.

Mr Green initially answered the call but operator at Careline lost communication. Within six minutes, the crew was on scene and investigating. They could hear the alarm but were unable to establish contact with the man inside. With curtains drawn, the crew could not see in-side but could hear a dog barking. They tried the front door, but it wouldn’t open. As the crew looked for another entrance, they heard a “click” and the front door opened. The crew went inside to find a man collapsed on the floor in the kitchen when a fire was beginning to take hold on the cooker. They contacted the ambulance service, put out the fire and allowed fresh air in. Firefighters then carried out first aid and stabilized the man until paramedics arrived. It wasn’t until later in the incident that they discovered that Chi Chi had managed to open the front door and let the crew inside.

Ian Bolton, Crew Manager for Home and Partnerships at Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service added: “Having monitored detection in people’s homes means the fire service are only minutes away from providing lifesaving assistance. This is a real success story and highlights the importance of Careline and the fire service. Careline’s system, combined with the speed of our crews getting to the incident, saved Mr Green’s life. The cherry on the cake. however, was Chi Chi letting the crews in before they had to force entry to the property. ”

Fears about what video games are doing to young minds have been growing for years- not least because now 97% of teenagers play them. Most parents believe they reduce children’ s socializing with real friends, damage psychological adjustment and that the violence presented in many games may be harmful.

On the other hand, some studies have suggested benefits like improved thinking skills, hand- eye co-ordination, perhaps even greater attention and creativity.

What should parents- and society at large- make of all this conflicting talk? Now a study, conducted by Oxford University psychologist Dr Andrew Przybylski, of almost 5, 000 young people in the UK has looked at both the positive and negative effects of video games together. The results, published in the journal Pediatrics, are cautiously positive about video games, but still support the old saying: Everything in moderation(适度).

Across the children, who were between 10- and 15-year-old, the results showed that the best adjusted children did play video games, but usually for less than one hour a day. These children were most likely to report: Being more sociable. Being more satisfied with their lives. Doing worse on these measures were teens that didn’t play any video games and those who spent at least half of their daily free time on video games (over 3 hours). For moderate players of video games - those who played for somewhere between 1 and 3 hours a day- there were no positive or negative effects on their psychological adjustment.

However, even the negative effects of playing video games too much were relatively insignificant compared to the effects of material deprivation(匮乏), family conflict or death of an important friend.

Actually, there was little evidence that playing video games was doing children that much good. Przybylski continued, “Some of the positive effects identified in past gaming research were mirrored in these data but the effects were quite small, suggesting that any benefits may be limited to a narrow range of action games.”
