Firemen in the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk fled a burning sauna in panic after mistaking a three-meter boa constrictor for a hosepipe, the Itar-Tass news agency reported on Thursday. print

The reptile called Yasha, kept as a mascot by the owner, had succumbed to smoke and lost consciousness on the floor before the emergency workers arrived to tackle the blaze.

A member of the startled fire crew eventually heeded pleas by the sauna staff to save the snake and dragged it to safety by its tail.

Another case of reptile dysfunction.

Awww, poor Yasha! I hope someone gave her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation!

They also "mistakenly" gulped down gallons of vodka rather than H20 before heading out on the call.
