Snake pays ‘house visit’ in Ranau on CNY eve

Firefighters used snake snare to catch the about eight-feet-long spitting cobra in Ranay on Tuesday night.

KOTA KINABALU: While many were ushering in the Year of the Snake, a family in Ranau found themselves calling the Fire and Rescue Department to deal with an unexpected guest - an actual reptile under their house.

Ranau Fire and Rescue Services Station chief Ridwan Mohd Taib said a team of five were rushed to Kampung Maukab Baru Lohan after receiving a distress call at 8.24pm on Tuesday (Jan 28).
