Luciano Mares, 81, of Fort Sumner said he caught the mouse inside his house and wanted to get rid of it.
\"I had some leaves burning outside, so I threw it in the fire, and the mouse was on fire and ran back at the house,\" Mares said from a motel room Saturday.
Village Fire Chief Juan Chavez said the burning mouse ran to just beneath a window, and the flames spread up from there and throughout the house.[/b]
