The Fillmore Volunteer Fire Department responded to a call for assistance in the 400 block of Main Street, Sunday afternoon. A baby rattlesnake was killed. Captain Al Huerta, holding the snake, wants to remind everyone that snakes are abundant this time of year, and this is just one of perhaps as many as 15 hatched by the mother of this one. Even small rattlesnakes can deliver a fatal bite. It is best to call for assistance when a snake is confronted.
