Rats the size of ‘small puppies’ force Texas city to abandon firehouse
In New Braunfels, Texas all equipment and personnel were moved from Fire Station 1 Monday to Station 4 and Station 6. The problem: rats. Big rats that have the run of the fire station.
Chief Kenneth Jacks is worried about the safety and health of the firefighters.
“They’re good sized, body of them like that,” Jacks said, spacing his fingers a few inches apart. “They look like small puppies, some of them.”
“They’re not too scared of people. Most rats come out when there’s not anyone around, or when it’s dark. These make themselves at home,” Jacks explained.
