Four pets die in fire at Vaughan, Ont. vet clinic

This article deals with a place that is located in the city of Vaughan Ontario, called the Thornhill Veterinary Clinic. On Sunday December 23rd of the year 2007, a massive fire arose throughout the space. The assumption was made from officials that the fire had started from a clothes dryer in the basement. This place was well known for it’s great service and many individuals chose to bring their pets over for a place to stay.

The space was usually calm and collected, but on that Sunday night, it became hectic since “Several animals were trapped inside. Fire crews tried to get to them all but several pets couldn’t be saved in time” (Toronto.ctv.ca). This fire has left many dog owners clearly upset for the reason that four of the pets passed away due to the flames that lit up in the clinic. In relation to scale, this fire has affected not only the construction of the veterinary clinic itself, “the estimated damages are at $50 000” (Toronto.ctv.ca), but also the residential area surrounding it. Since I live in the area of Thornhill, it is clear to me that places nearby have been affected on the outside of their surfaces.
