Firefighters received an unusual call to capture a 5-foot snake in South Los Angeles early Saturday morning.
A woman called 911 just after midnight after spotting the snake on west 46th Street, between Halldale and Denker avenues.
Firefighters hauled the snake away after wrangling it into a 5-gallon bucket.
There is no word on what kind of snake it was, but firefighters plan to turn it over to animal services
