Animal Hospital Fire
Kills IA Dogs and Cats

Fourteen dogs and cats were
killed last night in a fire at the
Hyattsville Animal Hospital, 5006
Rhode Island avenue, Hyattsville
Dr. j. F. Mcclure, owner of the
hospital, said the fire broke out in
a furnace room at the rear of the
building. The actual damage from
flames was confined to that room,
he explained.
The animals killed. according to
firemen from the Hyattsville and
Mount Rainier companies who put
out the fire, were all in upper
cages, and were suffocated rather
than burned.
Among the dogs lost were a collie
and German shepherd. Firemen
noticed that in one cage six puppies
survived while their mother lay
dead beside them.
Fire was discovered at about the
same time by a janitor on the second
floor and by the Prince Georges
County police, whose Hyattsville
headquarters are next to the hos
pital. Dr. Mcclure said he could
not estimate the amount of damage.
