================================================
A mouse got revenge on a New Mexico homeowner who tried to kill the creature by tossing it on a pile of blazing leaves.

The mouse got all fired up, it seems, and ran back ablaze to the man’s home and set it on fire.

It was an unfortunate start to the New Year for 81-year-old Fort Sumner resident Luciano Mares. He had caught the unwelcome guest inside his house and wanted rid of it.

So he made the mistake of tossing it on a pile of burning leaves.

"I had some leaves burning outside, so I threw it in the fire, and the mouse was on fire and ran back at the house," Mares said.

Local fire authorities described how the burning mouse ran beneath a window, and the flames spread up from there and went through the house.

"I have seen numerous house fires, but nothing as unique as this one,” village Fire Department Capt. Jim Lyssy commented.

Nobody was hurt inside the house, but everything in it was destroyed.

Conditions were dry and windy at the time – early January 2006. The unseasonable weather had seen tens of thousands of acres charred and 10 homes destroyed in southeast New Mexico in the preceding few weeks.
