In a bizarre turn of events, multiple firefighters were reportedly “attacked” while responding to a fire in North Idaho last night. According to witnesses, the firefighters were met with unexpected resistance as they attempted to extinguish the flames.
“I’ve never seen anything like it,” said local resident Sally Johnson. “The firefighters were just doing their job, and out of nowhere, they were ambushed by a group of rogue squirrels armed with acorns.”
Yes, you heard that right. Squirrels. Armed with acorns.
Firefighter Bob Smith recounted the harrowing ordeal, saying, “We were just trying to put out the fire when suddenly we were bombarded with a barrage of acorns. It was like something out of a Hitchcock movie, except with rodents instead of birds.”
The squirrels, who have been dubbed the “Acorn Avengers” by local media, are believed to be acting in retaliation for a recent crackdown on their nut hoarding activities in the area.
“We will not stand idly by as our acorns are taken from us,” declared the leader of the Acorn Avengers, a particularly feisty squirrel named Squirrelly McSquirrelington. “We will defend our stash at all costs, even if it means taking on the firefighters.”
Despite the unexpected attack, the firefighters managed to successfully extinguish the fire and no one was seriously injured. However, the incident has left many residents wondering what other surprises the local wildlife may have in store.
“I always knew those squirrels were up to something,” said resident Jim Bob Jenkins. “But I never thought they would go so far as to attack our brave firefighters. It’s a real nutty situation, if you ask me.”
In the meantime, authorities are urging residents to remain vigilant and keep an eye out for any suspicious squirrel activity. And remember, folks, when it comes to firefighting in North Idaho, expect the unexpected – even if it involves acorn-wielding rodents.
