A fire at Plaza Latina shopping center in Dallas killed 579 animals, mostly small birds, from smoke inhalation. The two-alarm fire took about two hours to extinguish. No people were injured, but the shopping center sustained severe damage.
DALLAS — A fire that broke out at a shopping center in Dallas on Friday morning killed more than 500 animals, most of which were small birds, authorities said.
The flames from the fire never reached the animals. Chickens, hamsters, two dogs and two cats also died, Evans said. “While DFR personnel did search and attempt rescue, all animals in the shop unfortunately perished due to smoke inhalation,” Evans said. The shopping center includes multiple small businesses and was described on its Facebook page as “a place where people can go to eat, and buy all sorts of Latin goods and services.” A post on the page in Spanish asked for prayers for the families who work there.DALLAS — A fire that broke out at a shopping center in Dallas on Friday morning killed more than 500 animals, most of which were small birds, authorities said.
