A 72-year-old bloke in Mönsroth, Ansbach decided to kick up a rowdy scene by torching his remaining chicken coop, dousing the responding firefighters with water from a cannon. The commotion left locals shaken due to water shortages and high forest fire risks in the region.
The ruckus caused neighbors to quickly call the fire department. Approximately 20 first responders, already on high alert, darted to the scene, only to be met with a dousing from our very own grumpy rainmaker. As a result, the ornery old codger is now under investigation for his actions.
Located within beautiful Bavaria, the actions of this cantankerous fellow have sparked talks regarding the need for stricter fire safety regulations in traditional Bavarian homes.
