In addition to the loss of life, the fire destroyed the electrical system for the entire rescue as well as the drainage system for the puppy quarantine where the kennel, the mother dog and her puppies were located. The cost to replace the electrical system, drainage, kennel and doghouses will be a little more than $8,000, according to a Facebook post.
