Firefighters and paramedics along with vets and the owners battled to save the animals after the blaze swept through the kitchen at Jersey Rescue Dogs – an organisation which rescues, fosters and rehomes dogs from the UK and Ireland and helps to rehome local dogs – and sent smoke pouring through the rest of the property.
Two lurchers called Mylo and Ellie and a greyhound named Elvis died at the scene, while another lurcher, named Lily, died a short time later and three other dogs were still being treated by vets this morning.
Owner Alison Le Feuvre, who had just returned from re-homing a dog when she discovered the fire, said she has been left ‘devastated’, but praised those at the scene for battling to save the animals.
