Default A PURR REQUEST

This is for victims of a fire at a local animal shelter. 300 animals
survived but 32 cats and 7 dogs did not make it out. The firefighters and
the shelter did there best but the rainbow bridge called them to cross to
the other side.

Sanford, Fla. -- A faulty dryer at Seminole County Animal Services in
Sanford is being blamed for killing 40 animals early Thursday, according to
Local 6 News.

Wednesday night, Seminole County firefighters were called to Seminole County
Animal Services after someone smelled smoke. However, no fire was found.

About six hours later at 2 a.m., firefighters responded to flames at the
animal facility.

The fire was knocked down in about 15 minutes but not before 32 cats and
seven dogs were killed. Other animals were also treated for smoke
inhalation.

Animal Service workers rushed to help the trapped animals early Thursday.

"What was running through our heads was save the animals," Vet Tech Denise
Sims said. "They were the most important things. Buildings can be replaced
but little lives cannot."

Nearly 300 animals at the clinic survived the fire.

"They think a faulty dryer started this," Local 6's Tiffany Tift said.
"There are washers and dryers back in the back area of the building."

Firefighters have not confirmed the cause of the fire.

Animal Services officials were asking for blankets, litter pans, bowls and
food for the animals.

An investigation into the fire continues.

Well, considering a fire at 2AM, it could have been much worse. But 32
poor kitties and 7 dogs lost to a fire. That's just awful!

People must have been working very, very hard to save so many, though.

Purrs on the way for the ones who have gone, as well as for the people
running the shelter!
