Fire that killed pet store animals began at electrical panel, official says

A fire Monday night that burned a Lawrenceburg pet store and killed a dozen dogs and cats started at an electrical panel at the rear of the business, city Fire Chief Bob Hume said Tuesday.

An investigator with the state fire marshal’s office was on the scene Tuesday at Hilltop Plaza shopping center on Lawrenceburg’s east side. The fire was reported at 7:30 p.m. Monday.

The dogs and cats were in a room at the back of the All About Animals store, Hume said. The store did not appear to have birds or reptiles.
