An early morning fire at the Colorado Gator Farm in Alamosa County claimed the lives of several rescue animals Tuesday. 

According to the Mosca-Hooper Fire Department, the fire was reported around 4:30 a.m. Tuesday. Responding crews arrived at the farm around 4:35 a.m., with Alamosa Fire Department arriving to assist about 20 minutes later.

Officials said a section of a burn burned, resulting in the death of some rescue animals. 

The Gator Farm released a statement through its social media saying that while no humans were injured, most of the animals located in the affected barn perished. 

“Unfortunately, most of the rescue snakes, lizards, tortoises, parrots, and cats perished,” the Colorado Gator Farm said on Facebook. “3 dwarf caiman and several turtles and tortoises were rescued.”

According to the farm, fire crews are still investigating the cause of the fire, but no foul play is suspected. 

“We have hundreds of animals that are healthy that we still need to take care of. Prayers are appreciated. We will get through this,” the statement reads. 

All of the other alligators and crocodiles outside the building are fine, and everything in the fish building including turtles, fish and sharks are fine, the Gator Farm said.
