Subscriber only ONE Glen Aplin man s firefighter training turned out to be a lifesaver after he was bitten by a deadly snake this afternoon. 18-year-old Lochlan Postema was working at his contracting job on a Newman Ln private property when he looked down and got the scare of his life. Spying the head of a brown snake on his lower leg before Mr Postema could step back, the snake lunged for the young man. It just felt like a little needle pinch and from there, my leg s gone numb, Mr Postema said. After the bite happened, the pain was intense.
