'Fire dept Shut it down !!' Snoop Dogg posted a photo with Melbourne
firefighters that arrived after smoke in the rapper’s hotel room set off
a fire alarm Friday morning.
Snoop Dogg's attempt at a quiet trip through Australia went up in smoke.
Firefighters swarmed the iconic rapper's room in a five-star Melbourne, Australia, hotel Friday morning after he triggered a fire alarm, the Melbourne Herald Sun reported.
"We were (at the hotel) for a different reason," a spokeswoman for the city's fire department said. "That was where our firefighters met Snoop."

The department wouldn't elaborate on exactly what type of smoke was emanating from the 42-year-old marijuana advocate's room at the hotel, the name of which was being withheld.
The responding team from the Metropolitan Fire Brigade may have needed
to be hosed down after discovering the identity of the room's occupant.
"It was pretty funny," firefighter Trevor Bowen told the Australian Associated Press. "We had a brush with Mr. Snoop himself.

"He asked us for a photo because he said he always wanted to be a firefighter.
"It was an amazing chance encounter, which would probably be one of the highlights of my 26 years with the MFB."
The artist occasionally known as Snoop Lion then posted the pics on his Instagram account.

But not everyone is smiling about Snoop Dogg's stay in the Land Down Under.
On Tuesday, the rapper posted pictures of himself on Instagram apparently smoking pot in the tony Palazzo Versace hotel in Australia's Gold Coast. Fired up political leaders immediately slammed the "stunt."
"Next time Mr. Broadus requests a visa to enter Australia he may regret this stunt," Immigration Minster Scott Morrison said, according to Australia's Courier Mail.
"Visa holders convicted of serious criminal offences can be and are deported from Australia. The Australian Government is prepared to take action where state police are able to make an arrest and secure a conviction."
