A Napanee wildlife rescue centre suffered “a devastating blow” Friday when fire destroyed a barn that held much of the straw and hay the centre needs for feeding and bedding for its animals.
The fire at Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre broke out at about 11 a.m. and destroyed a barn on the property, about five kilometres west of Napanee. Only a few animals were in the barn and all but one pig and a rabbit were able to escape safely, according to a post on the centre’s Facebook page. The fire was extinguished at around 4 p.m.
The barn that burned had a loft full of hay and straw needed for the winter.
Established in 1994, Sandy Pines handles about 4,000 orphaned or injured mammals, birds and reptiles each year.
Among its “patients in care” in a December 2017 web post were 25 eastern grey squirrels, three red squirrels, eight southern flying squirrels, 12 big brown bats, five raccoons, three porcupines, three crows, six red tail hawks, three eastern garter snakes and one American bullfrog.
The centre is asking for assistance and said it will post information on how to help on its Facebook page and social media accounts.
