According to ISU Suceva, the fire completely engulfed the two shelters, and crews worked to prevent the fire from spreading to other buildings in the area.
We remind you that, last year, also in Suceva county, another large-scale fire broke out at an animal shelter, in the village of Probota (Dolhasca – Suceva). The flames consumed the roof of the building, and 15 pigs perished in the fire. The owner suffered burns to his hands and neck.
In 2024, several pigs were burned alive, following a fire that broke out at an animal shelter in the town of Şebiș in Arada.
