What they found instead shocked them into posting a tweet about the dangers they face whenever they attend a fire.
Last autumn, the house had been described by one estate agent as a 'six bed end terrace investment opportunity'.
Its potential sale value now £450,000 compared with its last realised price of £145,000 just nine years ago in 2011.
But when the firemen entered the building they found cannabis plants.
And the real danger to them came from what appeared to be a series of electrical devices hanging down from the ceiling in a charred state.
It is not known if anyone was currently meant to be living in the property which is just yards away from the Coronation Road Play Centre building on a nearby corner.
But it was most recently actively advertised for sale last October.
And there is no suggestion that that either the owner, or estate agent, had any knowledge about what the house had become.
It's simply that the firemen had to discover that for themselves in a battle against the clock - and that makes you appreciate their professionalism even more.
An investigation into the growing of cannabis inside the property is now in the hands of West Midlands Police.
It released a statement saying: "We were called by fire colleagues after a cannabis factory was discovered at a property that was on fire in Dawlish Road, Selly Oak, shortly before 8am today (Saturday, June 6).

Property on the market
The end terrace is on Dawlish Road, part of the Selly Oak area transformed in recent years by countless property extensions designed to house the ever-growing student population at the nearby University of Birmingham.
The story of how this one house became a cannabis factory is for the police to discover.
Perhaps it will ultimately prove to be an opportunist product of the property possibly being left empty during the coronavirus lockdown.
In the meantime, just leafing through various sales particulars from the last 18 months is a fascinating journey in its own right.
Saturday's emergency also sheds a bit of light on the world of HMOs, when you might never be sure who lives where and when, and how that in itself then tests the bravery of firefighters on red alert at the crack of dawn.

The property has a For Sale sign at its front door.
Hours after the fire, though, the house was still on the Zoopla website with details of its 'archived' property history and more than 20 photographs.

birminghammail--2020-06-07--Prime Minister's 11 Covid-19 errors that may have cost lives

Prime Minister Boris Johnson is facing new accusations his coronavirus strategy has been handled badly - and may have cost lives .
And the litany of complaints about his Covid-19 measures are long .
They include going into lockdown too late , the woeful lack of PPE and the inability to protect our frontline NHS staff and the elderly in care homes .
Our sister title MirrorOnline has reported on the horrifying errors which may have added to UK deaths .
More than 40,000 people have died so far , with an estimated 8,000 new infections a day .
Even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ public inquiry in the autumn .
So what did Boris get so badly wrong ?
Lets look at the death toll figures elsewhere in Europe : 33,700 in Italy , 29,000 in France , 27,000 in Spain and 8,700 in Germany .
Our death toll stands at more than 40,000 and could top 61,000 before the year is through .
In the last week of May there were 236 newly confirmed UK cases per million population compared to 168 in Portugal , 100 in France and 71 in Ireland .
Lack of PPE @ @ @ @ @ @ @ releasing hospital patients with Covid-19 back into homes led to disaster .
In the 10 weeks before the outbreak an average 2,600 residents died each week .
By April , that hit 7,900 .
VERDICT : Protecting NHS was vital , but it led to neglect of frail and elderly .
Health and social care must be linked .
Testing and tracing must be fully functional to avoid needless deaths as lockdown eases , says the Health Foundation .
At the virus peak , the UK conducted 10.13 tests per 1,000 people compared @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s 31 and Germany ’ s 30.4 .
By Friday ( June 5 ) , Britain had tested 73,000 per million of population – below Belgium , Russia , Portugal and Spain .
VERDICT : Testing and tracing is not enough .
Track and isolate is crucial .
The government says face coverings on public transport will be made compulsory from June 15 .
Yet the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies recommended them back in April .
Since then there has been countless more deaths .

Prime Minister Boris Johnson is facing new accusations his coronavirus strategy has been handled badly - and may have cost lives.
And the litany of complaints about his Covid-19 measures are long.
They include going into lockdown too late, the woeful lack of PPE and the inability to protect our frontline NHS staff and the elderly in care homes.
Our sister title MirrorOnline has reported on the horrifying errors which may have added to UK deaths.
More than 40,000 people have died so far, with an estimated 8,000 new infections a day.
Even Tory MPs are now pushing for a public inquiry in the autumn.
So what did Boris get so badly wrong?
Charge 1: Europe’s biggest toll
Lets look at the death toll figures elsewhere in Europe: 33,700 in Italy, 29,000 in France, 27,000 in Spain and 8,700 in Germany.
Our death toll stands at more than 40,000 and could top 61,000 before the year is through.
In the last week of May there were 236 newly confirmed UK cases per million population compared to 168 in Portugal, 100 in France and 71 in Ireland.
VERDICT: Toll reflects failure to protect vulnerable and elderly.
Charge 2: Care homes hell
Lack of PPE for staff, failure to test and releasing hospital patients with Covid-19 back into homes led to disaster. In the 10 weeks before the outbreak an average 2,600 residents died each week. By April, that hit 7,900.
VERDICT: Protecting NHS was vital, but it led to neglect of frail and elderly. Health and social care must be linked.
Charge 3: Testing failure
Testing and tracing must be fully functional to avoid needless deaths as lockdown eases, says the Health Foundation.
At the virus peak, the UK conducted 10.13 tests per 1,000 people compared to Italy’s 32.73, Ireland’s 31 and Germany’s 30.4.
By Friday ( June 5), Britain had tested 73,000 per million of population – below Belgium, Russia, Portugal and Spain.
VERDICT: Testing and tracing is not enough. Track and isolate is crucial.
Charge 4: Masks rule too late
(Image: Nick Ansell/PA Wire)
The government says face coverings on public transport will be made compulsory from June 15.
Yet the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies recommended them back in April. Since then there has been countless more deaths.
VERDICT: Boris Johnson’s claim to be following the science does not make sense.
Charge 5: Cancer ignored
Around 2.4 million people missed tests and screening due to Covid 19 fears. This means an estimated 23,000 people now have the virus.
Michelle Mitchell of Cancer Research UK said: “Prompt diagnosis and treatment remain crucial to give people the greatest chances of survival."
VERDICT: The PM took his eye off this ball.
Charge 6: Late quarantine
(Image: BPM)
As lockdown began, flights still touched down from all over the world including China the epicentre of coronavirus, but other countries such as Australia had banned these flights six weeks earlier. There were 3.1 million Heathrow arrivals in March – nearly 500,000 from Asia, 875,000 from the EU and 711,000 from North America.
But from January to lockdown only 273 of the 18million arrivals in the UK were quarantined. Between mid-March and the start of April new cases rose from 2,000 to 6,000 a day.
VERDICT: The new 14 days quarantine should have been in place in January.
Charge 7: Impact on jobs
Around 1,200 jobs an hour are disappearing, with the young hardest hit. The Resolution Foundation says nearly one in 10 18 to 24-yr-olds have lost jobs.
The Institute for Fiscal Studies found closed sectors such as hospitality employed a third of all workers under 25.
VERDICT: A massive retraining and reskilling programme must be introduced.
Charge 8: Schooling crisis
(Image: PA)
Only Reception, Years 1 and 6 are back at school out of nearly nine million children. Class sizes of no more than 15 mean schools are at 50 per cent capacity.
The Education Endowment Foundation says the attainment gap between middle and working class children could now be up to 75 per cent, shocking news for any hope of social mobility for these kids from a poorer background.
VERDICT: The PM must introduce one-to-one tuition to help poorer kids catch up.
Charge 9: High street nightmare
During the crisis, clothing and furniture prices have suffered their biggest drop since records began – a 4.6 per cent fall in May after a 3.7 per cent decline in April.
British Retail Consortium boss Helen Dickinson said: “As non-essential shops reopen from June 15, consumer demand is expected to remain weak."
VERDICT: Johnson must relax Sunday trading laws to help shops survive.
Charge 10: Housing collapse
The price of the average home dropped last month by £4,013 to £218,902 with sales down 53 per cent on the same period last year.
But for private renters who pay an average 45 per cent of their income for a roof over their head, compared to 19 per cent for owner-occupiers, the situation is dire. Three million are just one payslip away from losing their home.
VERDICT: Scrap Stamp Duty to boost sales, and extend the evictions ban until the end of 2020.
Charge 11: Mixed messages
Among so many, the latest came from Matt Hancock on Friday. He announced surgical masks would be mandatory for all hospital staff from June 15, but had failed to inform them.
Chris Hopson, head of NHS Providers, said: “Last minute decisions are being made on the hoof.” Previously Hancock said there was little evidence masks stopped transmission.
VERDICT: The PM says he’s in charge so we need him to prove it.

An estate agency boss who promised free accommodation to NHS workers called a Birmingham nurse 'low level trash' after she complained about his company.
And Love Your Postcode CEO Bobby Singh also labelled Daani Evans a 'koothi' in a Facebook Live video - a Punjabi word which translates as 'bitch'.
Mr Singh claims that koothi is a 'mild Punjabi word' that is not as offensive as the word 'bitch'.
But the Queen Elizabeth Hospital nurse, 22, says the verbal attack has affected her mental health.
Ms Evans, who has recently recovered from the Covid-19 virus, said: "It’s just horrible, it’s making my anxiety go through the roof. I don’t even want to go back to work.
"I’m not doing this for sympathy. I just want other people not to be put in this position."
Mr Singh referred our reporter to his lawyer who did not respond to our questions.
But the businessman broadcast a phone call with our journalist live on Facebook in which he claimed the words he used to describe Ms Evans were 'mild Punjabi words' that are not as offensive as 'bitch'.
(Image: Birmingham Mail)
Oldbury-based Love Your Postcode made headlines in March by offering free accommodation to 50 NHS workers during the coronavirus crisis.
Ms Evans took up the offer by moving into an Olbury flat for eight weeks.
But she posted a Facebook complaint on May 22, having left the flat two days earlier, calling Love Your Postcode a 'p**s take' and urging friends and family to 'steer well clear of them.'
She claimed she had been given just a week's notice to leave the property in a text from Mr Singh and that the flat was unfurnished when she moved in, with no bed. Mr Singh claims she was made aware the flat was unfurnished.
Ms Evans also alleged her personal details had been passed to media organisations without her permission, which Mr Singh denies, and claimed she had to wait two days for the return of her deposit.
Her complaints sparked the response from Mr Singh, who broadcast three Facebook Live videos about Ms Evans between May 22 and May 28.
Switching between speaking English and Punjabi, he at one point called the nurse a 'koothi' (bitch) in Punjabi.
He also said in English: "What low level trash are you? What low level person are you?"
Mr Singh referred to her supporters as 'dogs' and said: "Considering you don’t have anything to rub together, you should be grateful somebody’s giving you something for free."
The businessman also told Ms Evans 'not to rock the apple cart', adding: "The whole of your National Trust will know about it, every single person, every single nurse, every single doctor will know who you are. That's how far we can take it."
The videos were broadcast by Mr Singh, 40, across two Facebook groups with more than 18,000 followers.
At one point he said he would make Ms Evans the 'face' of his free NHS accommodation campaign by featuring her on the company's digital screens and billboards. "Why don't we make her famous?" he said.
(Image: BPM Media)
Ms Evans said: "After I did my post he did a 40 minute live Facebook video having a go at me, speaking in English one minute and Punjabi the next, and saying about how I couldn’t understand Punjabi," she said.
"And he basically said... I’m gonna put her on my billboards that I advertise on, I’m gonna put her face on there.
"Obviously I was upset, and I was angry, because while many people are believing my side of the story, some people still don’t.
"It’s horrible going into work everyday as it is, you don’t know what you’re gonna walk into.
"The whole reason of having these apartments to go back to is to have somewhere to have a rest and a chillout and not worry about work and stuff. But then obviously now I’ve got to worry about this on top."
During the broadcast call with our reporter, Mr Singh claimed he was 'retaliating' to Ms Evans' complaint after she had posted 'negative things' and 'false information' about his company.
The businessman claimed it was made clear to the nurse that she would be moving into an unfurnished flat. He insisted that he had passed on her details to media organisations with her permission - and also claimed that her initial contract was for '14-30 days'.
Mr Singh added: "Bobby the Lion turned around and dealt with a troll... I put her in her place."
He also stated Ms Evans had never voiced any complaints directly to him during her eight-week free stay in one of his apartments.

West Bromwich Albion and Leeds United will resume their battle for the Championship title in two weeks' time.
The EFL have announced a restart date of June 20, which is music to the ears of promotion-chasing Albion and Leeds.
The top two were leading calls for the season to be restarted and their wish has been granted. But how do their respective injury lists stack up?
Earlier this week it was reported by our sister title LeedsLive that Marcelo Bielsa will be without influential midfielder Adam Forshaw for the rest of the season.
Their report said: "Adam Forshaw underwent season-ending surgery on his long-standing hip problem in February, having not played since September.
"Despite the season effectively being extended by more than two months, the former Middlesbrough man is not expected to play a part in the run in, as he targets a pre-season return to training."
