For the second time in a week squirrels are wreaking havoc in Wisconsin. This time they’re either trying to commit suicide and/or burn down some houses.
Two Rivers, Wisconsin — Residents at 1914 30th St., Two Rivers, got some excitement yesterday evening when a squirrel fell into their chimney and into their lit fireplace, according to Assistant Chief Gary Shavlik of the Two Rivers Fire Department.
The squirrel ran out of the fireplace and ran around the house, Shalik said.
The fire department responded, and the squirrel was caught. Firefighters took the squirrel outside, and noticed it had bloody paws. Wildlife of Wisconsin, an agency that helps wild animals, was called to take care of the squirrel.
There was no fire damage and the squirrel is alive, Shalik added.
