A house of nearly 10,000 square feet in Dickerson, Maryland, an hour west of Baltimore, was engulfed in flames on November 23 when the homeowner tried to smoke out a snake infestation on the property, Pete Piringer, chief spokesperson for the Montgomery County Fire & Rescue Service, told CNN.Piringer said snakes had been an ongoing issue for this owner and the previous tenant as well.No smoke, no water, no waste.
"There were no fire hydrants in the area," Piringer said."Which isn't a problem because we're used to it, but we had to shuttle in water tankers." What was left of the house after the fire was put out the next morning.It took a few hours for firefighters to get the fire under control, but it wasn't completely out until the next morning.The damages will cost more than $1 million, Piringer said. The house was recently purchased for $1.
Oh for anyone else who's having trouble with snakes, DONT use moth balls. Snakes dont give a shit about moth balls. Try to figure out why they like your place & call a professional to help you get rid of them and make your property less appealing to them.

Translation: Idiot burns down house doing the dumbest of things instead of calling for a professional or Animal welfare. Follow up: Idiot cries victim and cries poverty after insurance company, fire, police investigation confirms he's an idiot and refuses to pay out.
My baby said she'd burn down her house if she had a spider infestation so I kind of guess I understand
Do snakes really say “Wow, look at all the rubble. We’re out of here!”?
Fire... Bad!
Wow
Looks like he succeeded
They were probably not poisonous, ignorance is bliss.
Hope they have insurance - will it be on a commercial? 😵💫
I guess the snakes are gone...
Terrible. Why don't the owners choose to find professionals to solve such problems?
