Fire started to drive out snakes destroyed barn, other structures : In a quest to rid his yard of snakes, William Litaker unknowingly started a fire
that sent 50 to 75 fire and other emergency crews to his family-owned property at 350 Litaker Road in western Rowan County. The 82-year-old said he’d seen a couple of copperheads behind a mobile home he used as storage. So he thought Thursday was a pretty enough day to “smoke ’em out,” he told a Post reporter. He said he poured kerosene on the ground and lit it. The fire quickly spread to a barn, two sheds and the mobile home. “I thought now would be a good time to do it, but it wasn’t,” he said.

You don’t know where the itch is
until you scratch it with your own hand.
