Damn and it's not even Friday...FORT SUMNER, N.M. -- You've probably heard of a house fire, but how about a "mouse fire?"
An 81-year-old Fort Sumner homeowner said he caught a mouse inside his house and just wanted to get rid of it.
The man threw the critter in a pile of burning leaves near his home, but it ran back to the house on fire.
Village Fire Chief Juan Chavez said the mouse ran to just beneath a window and the flames spread up the window and throughout the house.
All contents of the home were destroyed, but no injuries were reported, Chavez said.
Unseasonably dry and windy conditions have charred more than 53,000 acres and destroyed 10 homes in southeastern New Mexico in recent weeks.
