Binghamton, NY - During a fire on Munsell Street last night, firefighters not only battled heavy flames but also carried out an unusual rescue. Crews saved five snakes and two guinea pigs from the home, ensuring that all animals were safely removed from danger. True to their dedication, firefighters weren’t afraid to get hands-on during the operation — and made sure to keep the guinea pigs well separated from their scaly housemates during transport. Thanks to their quick work, everyone — scales, fur, and all — made it out unharmed.
