re: Sac's Western store in Gonzales on fire

Investigators said they determined the fire was caused by a heat lamp used to keep a piglet warm. They added unfortunately, that piglet and two rabbits died in the fire. Others at the scene reported at least two birds and a few lizards also didn't survive. However, officials said store workers found an iguana alive.

According to Landry, the flames were contained to the section of the building with the animals and outdoor supplies, but the entire building has a significant amount of smoke damage. He added the fire caused about $100,000 worth of damage to the building and an unknown amount of inventory was loss.
