A small fire had a large impact on a Richardson pet store that specializes in reptiles.North Texas rescue groups and customers are stepping in to take in the surviving animals. The owner says they can repair the store, but it’ll take one to two months. Saturday just before 10:30 a.m., the Richardson Fire Department got a call for a fire at the store. Firefighters put it out quickly, but there was plenty of damage done.
"There’s a lot of heat lamps here, 50 +. But it could have been a heat lamp, could have been a heat pad, it could have been a timer, digital timer on the side, it could have been the wiring itself," said owner Robert Coral.After Coral posted a video of the fire on Facebook, the community came to him. Rescue groups and loyal customers came in to help an animal in need.
Singleton owns reptiles of her own, but she’s also with the non-profit organization, North Texas Wildlife Center, which rescues local injured and orphaned animals. "As a center, as one organization, we wanted to reach out to another organization and say hey we’re here if you need anything," she said."It means everything. We’re so grateful to have these people," he said.
Coral says he plans to gut the inside of the store and start from scratch. The good news is that all the animals found foster homes until it’s safe for them to come back here.
