«I’ve been doing this for 29 years and this is the first incident that I’ve had where we’ve lost so many pets,» a fire chief said Sunday.
A fire at a Texas pet resort Saturday evening resulted in the deaths of 75 dogs, according to fire officials. Twenty firefighters responded to the blaze at the Ponderosa Pet Resort in Georgetown, Texas, at around 11 p.m. Crews arrived within four minutes of the receiving a call reporting the fire, but were unable to save any of the dogs staying at the facility. «By that time, the facility was engulfed in smoke from the fire. None of the 75 dogs staying at the resort survived,» the Georgetown Fire Department wrote in a Facebook post on Sunday. No humans were injured in the fire. Speaking with reporters Sunday, the chief of the Georgetown Fire Department, John Sullivan, said the fire is «extremely heart-wrenching for us as first responders.
