MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Texas — A jaw-dropping picture posted on the East Montgomery County Fire Department Facebook page proves that firefighters need all of their flowers.
These public servants -- or should we say animal servants for this story -- didn't let certain critters stop them from being the heroes they are.
The department said it was called to a house fire in the area and within moments the call notes were updated to read 20 snakes, lizards, tarantulas and a crocodile will be secured inside the home. Yep, you read that right.
Not only were these firefighters up against a possible blaze, but several exotic animals that could harm them.
The department said they weren't expecting that but said animals aren't exempt from protection.
"We will rescue your animals [too] if possible!! Everyone just thought we rescued cats in trees….. LOL," the department posted on Facebook.
Thank you firefighters for your service!
