fire kills pet snake
A garage fire in Costa Mesa early Monday caused extensive smoke
and fire damage and killed a 10-foot snake.
Firefighters responded to the fire in the 900 block of W. 19th
Street at about 7:45 a.m., Costa Mesa Fire Battalion Chief Scott
Broussard said. When they arrived, they found smoke and flames coming
from a detached garage.
It took about 20 minutes for 25 firefighters to extinguish the
flames, Broussard said. One man was inside the home at the time but
was not injured, he said.
A snake that was caged inside the garage was killed, Broussard
said.
Investigators have not yet determined the cause of the fire or
damage estimates.
