We didn't even know dishwashers could catch on fire -- wouldn't a fire be more appropriate for an oven or a stove? -- but two firefighters were able to put out the blaze, saving their station but not their cups and saucers. Maybe they can start a "take a firefighter to dinner" day, or just do like the rest of us with biohazard kitchens and get takeaway.

"We didn't even know dishwashers could catch on fire".
At my company's 'fire marshall training' last year, the trainer (an ex-firefighter) told us that dishwashers and washing machines are amongst the most common household appliances to start fires.
So don't leave the house when your pots/pans/knickers are being washed...
Thanks for letting us know! I'd heard about dryers being dangerous, but not washers/dishwashers.
