Le Pew. Le Skunk. Le Fire!

Our bozo for today isn’t a criminal but his efforts deserve recognition. From Ferndale, Michigan, comes the story of a man who had a problem with skunks. A big problem, it would seem, as they were living under his house and causing quite a stink. So, he decided to fight fire with fire, literally. He threw several smokebombs into the crawlspace of the house, hoping to run the critters out. Instead, the bombs ignited wood in the crawlspace which quickly spread to the first floor of the house. By the time the firefighters arrived, the home was totally ablaze and out of control. The home was declared a total loss. And, as for the skunks…firefighters report no carcasses were found in the debris. Next time call a professional.
