A call came in over police radio from a man complaining about a ‘living flame’ that had scorched his house.
Investigating the claims we came upon a house that clearly had signs of fire damage. The owners, a man, and a woman in their mid-forties ran a successful cattle farm.
The woman explained that she was cleaning her son's room when a pile of clothes bursts into flame. The flame then jumped around the room and made its way into the hallway. They managed to put out the fires but the ‘living flame’ jumped out a window and vanished.
Upon talking to their teen son we quickly found out that he was a collector of rare reptiles, many of which were illegally obtained. We searched the property and located the problem in an old kiln the father had in the workhouse at the back of the property. As suspected, it was a European Fire Salamander, shipped over to the states in a lead box, however, we found no further evidence of the sellers, so we couldn’t track the origin.
------------------------------------------
ASSET ANALYSIS: European Fire Salamander
THREAT LEVEL: 3 (AGGRESSIVE)
Though Fire Salamanders are not inherently aggressive, they are marked as threat level three due to their skittish nature, fast speed, and inflammatory abilities. If disturbed, they can superheat their bodies and spread trails of fire wherever they go.
These creatures are famous for causing uncontrollable fires and are theorized to have been the true cause of the Great Fire of London.

I really was pushing for molten glass/metal on this one :)
