But the 18-foot python that firefighters had to
drag out of a burning Rhode Island home just after midnight Monday may have
been a first. Acting Chief Peter Henrikson tells The Providence Journal that it
took two firefighters to carry out the python with a diameter like a
"Frisbee" in the middle. The home's sole occupant managed to escape
on his own and brought out his two dogs and a cat. Henrikson says he hates
snakes and wouldn't go near it. He says it appears the fire started where the
pipe of a wood stove met the wall. The East Greenwich house was condemned.
