A Montgomery County, Maryland, homeowner burned their house down on Nov. 23 while trying to manage a snake infestation, officials said Thursday night.

Montgomery County Fire and Rescue spokesman Pete Piringer tweeted that the owner tried using smoke from coals to fight the serpents in a house on Big Woods Road near Poolesville.

The fire broke out around 10 p.m., officials said. Piringer said 75 firefighters were called to put out the blaze. It’s believed that coals in the basement started the fire, which caused more than $1 million in damage.

There were no human injuries, Piringer said. He listed the snakes’ status as “undetermined.”

If you're keeping score, it's snakes ONE, homeowners ZERO!

Pretty sure homeowner won this one.
Lost a little.coin, gets a new home built, and snake situation officially over.

I wouldn't think Maryland would have a venomous snake problem, and I hope the home's owner would not be stupid enough to burn out a ball of garter snakes.

After typing this, I checked google and though the odds are against these snakes being venomous (and I think on rattlesnakes converge into large groups), there are some copperheads and water moccasins in Maryland.
