Lineman Finds Rattlesnake That Survived Jack Fire

Chris Canty, a Journeyman Lineman out inspecting power poles in the Jack Fire burn area came across a rattlesnake that survived the fire. As Chris was checking the pole, he heard the very distinctive rattle. He then found the rather large rattlesnake curled up inside a rocky opening near the power pole. It appears to be a Western Rattlesnake which is often found in Oregon. For more information on all the Oregon snakes, check out this article from ODFW: https://www.dfw.state.or.us/wildlife/living_with/docs/livingwsnakes.pdf Photo by Chris Canty
