75 dogs killed in fire at pet resort in Georgetown, just north of Austin
Monday, September 20, 2021 5:51PM
GEORGETOWN, Texas (KTRK) -- Seventy-five dogs were killed over the weekend during a large fire at a pet resort near Austin.
It happened at the Ponderosa Pet Resort in Georgetown Saturday night, which is located just over 30 miles north of Austin.
A witness captured the building up in flames, but despite the efforts of the Georgetown Fire Department, the dogs couldn't be saved.
"It's hard to accept the fact that we showed up in such a quick fashion, yet we were unable to save even one life in this building," said the city's fire chief John Sullivan.
Sullivan said investigators are still working to determine what caused the fire, but he believes the dogs likely died of smoke inhalation.
