Dozens Of Animals Killed In Bethel Island Fire

BETHEL ISLAND (AP) ― Dozens of animals have died in a two-alarm fire at the home of an animal rescuer on Bethel Island.

More than 80 birds, three baby goats, a pig, a rabbit and a dog were killed in the Monday morning blaze, reported by neighbors around 10:30 a.m. Firefighters extinguished the fire by noon.

The woman who rents the home escaped without injury, and some animals in a kennel behind the house survived.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
