[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - A Maryland homeowner tried to rid the house of a snake infestation by smoking the serpents out, but ended up setting off a massive fire by accident
- The fire required 75 firefighters from Dickerson and neighboring towns to battle the blaze at around 10 pm
- By the time authorities arrived, the multi-story home had its roof and structure collapse, while showing heavy amounts of flames
- To make matters worse, MCFRS spokesman Pete Piringer said there was no fire hydrants near the home, which has a nearly mile-long driveway
- No one was injured in the fire, which was deemed accidental
- The status of the snake infestation remains 'undetermined,' said Piringer
