A house in Rhode Island caught fire and apart from the occupants of the house there was an 18-foot Burmese python as well, who inhabited the house. The homeowner also had other pets in the form of two dogs and a cat. However he was lucky enough to escape the burning inferno and had also carried his dogs and cat to safety. However the 18-foot Burmese python was stuck in the fire.
Firefighters swung into action and managed to rescue the snake from the burning house. Chief Peter Henrikson said that when they saw the snake, then they were shocked because its midriff was as wide as a Frisbee. He also said that he didn’t even go near the snake, as he suffers from a snake phobia. However his team members were braver and they got the snake to safety.
According to reports the fire started because the exhaust pipe of a wooden stove was resting against a wall.
