General BS forum I guess anything is fair game in here. Just watch the subject matter doesn't get carried away too much.

I thought this article was worth linking. Many accounts of fires where snakes are involved end up with the snakes sensationalized and confiscated.
Here, there was a completely different approach. The fire was said to have 'endangered' the snakes. The firefighters removed the snakes to the garage, just helping them, no sensationalism.
And I think after reading the article, that it might be a good idea to unplug lights on Christmas trees when no one is home, because of the possibility of fire.

Socratic Monologue
Articles like this one make me happy. (The loss of property, of course, is unfortunate.)

To read a simple news report that doesn't tell me how I should react emotionally kind of boosts my self-esteem ("Wow, they think I'm capable of making up my own mind about this event! I must be pretty emotionally competent."). And, since I don't know anything about how emergency responders handle the range of situations, it gives me a little security to think that firefighters might go out of their way to save something that most people think isn't worth saving.

Thanks for the link!
