Eww! Greenfield Car Fire Call is Actually ... A Possum?

GREENFIELD -- The Greenfield Fire Department got a bit of a surprise Monday morning when a call for a car fire in the city ended up being something more unusual.

When Greenfield Firefighters were dispatched to a possible car fire Monday morning, they opened the hood of the vehicle to find not smoke and flames, but an ornery possum and their nest.

According to a Facebook post Monday afternoon, the department took some liberties with reporting their encounter with the unexpected guest. "The possum was not happy as the nest was a total loss but the possum was OK. The possum turned over to Greenfield Police Department for further questioning and released."
