"Two tortoises have been blamed for starting a house fire.  Henry the tortoise had just awoken from hibernation and decided to pursue his mate Alice. However, as Henry and Alice moved around their nest, Henry is thought to have knocked over a heater that set fire to some wood shavings. Henry and Alice&amp;#039;s owners - pensioners Alf and Gayner Clayton, from Thornaby, Stockton-on-Tees - had to run out of their house to escape the flames. The blaze destroyed their conservatory as well as damaging their garage and car. It also sadly led to the demise of the two lovelorn tortoises.  Alf told the Evening Gazette: &amp;quot;Henry had woken up and was trying to mate with his partner. &amp;quot;He always was a bit of a one and had chased her around and must have knocked the heater over.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Tortoises serenaded with classical piano music - video &amp;gt; Family find pet tortoise alive 30 years after it went missing "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
