The corn snake was brought into Stanground Fire Station shortly after 10am this morning with the person’s pet stuck in a cage ornament.

It’s not known if the firefighters saw the hiss-terical side of the situation, but fortunately they were able to use tools to remove the snake from the ornament, meaning owner and pet could leave the fire station happy 40 minutes later.
