GREEN BAY (NBC 26) — A morning electrical fire at the PetSmart on E. Mason Street has left a few fish dead, but several other animals were safely removed from the store.

The Battalion Chief says the fire appears to have started before 7 a.m. near a fish tank. Flames spread enough to trigger the sprinkler system, which—along with the fire—led to smoke and water damage inside the building.

Animal handlers and store staff were able to relocate multiple animals during the response. No people were involved.

The Mason Street location remains closed this morning as crews review the extent of the damage. Officials have not yet released an estimated cost, but more information is expected later today.
