I looked to see if there were any more recent articles. I didn't find any, but I will check again tomorrow.
Sadly some of the rescued animals will still die because of the smoke they inhaled. It is amazing that they rescued as many as they did.
When they had a fire at an Ontario Humane society shelter in 2008, eight dogs and two cats were rescued. One hundred and fifty other animals died of smoke inhalation. They have since rebuilt, but it was heartbreaking.
I am sure they will rebuild and many of the animals will survive. You are probably right about it being an electrical issue. Either that or there was a problem with a dryer. At least their buildings are mostly intact.
