Animals evacuated from Seminole County pet daycare after next-door unit catches fire

SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. – Five animals and a worker were successfully evacuated from a pet daycare early Sunday in Seminole County after the unit next door caught fire, according to the fire department.

Crews responded around 1:26 a.m. to 1320 E Altamonte Drive, where a safety business’ storage unit was on fire, the Seminole County Fire Department said on social media.

Of the five animals evacuated safely from the pet daycare, four were dogs and one was a cat, the post states.
