Vengeful mouse sets house ablaze
Sunday, January 8, 2006; Posted: 5:40 p.m. EST (22:40 GMT)
FORT SUMNER, New Mexico (AP) -- A mouse got its revenge against a
homeowner who tried to dispose of it in a pile of burning leaves. The
blazing creature ran back to the man's house and set it on fire.
Luciano Mares, 81, of Fort Sumner said he caught the mouse inside his
house and wanted to get rid of it.
"I had some leaves burning outside, so I threw it in the fire, and the
mouse was on fire and ran back at the house," Mares said from a motel
room Saturday.
Village Fire Chief Juan Chavez said the burning mouse ran to just
beneath a window, and the flames spread up from there and throughout the
house.
No was hurt inside, but the home and everything in it was destroyed.
Unseasonably dry and windy conditions have charred more than 53,000
acres and destroyed 10 homes in southeastern New Mexico in recent weeks.
"I've seen numerous house fires," village Fire Department Capt. Jim
Lyssy said, "but nothing as unique as this one."
