Five dogs and a parrot perished in a fire at a Lakeside home early Sunday that caused more than $100,000 in damage, a fire official said.
The blaze was reported shortly after 3 a.m. at the home on Winter Gardens Boulevard near Gay Rio Drive. A kennel business on the property was untouched by the fire, Lakeside Fire Protection District Division Chief Bernard Molloy said.
The owner of the home called 911 after her house filled with smoke and made sure all the property’s gates were unlocked before firefighters arrived, Molloy said. She and three dogs were able to get out of the home safely. Five dogs died, including one that was in a crate, and an African grey parrot.
Molloy said the kennel wasn’t part of the fire and he did not know who owned the dogs that died. “This is a business that has been in Lakeside for a very long time,” the division chief said. “We don’t do business inspections there; they stopped operating as a business.”

A county spokesman said Carter’s Kennel had been inspected and licensed by the county Department of Animal Services since at least 1998 and has a kennel license that is valid through September 2020.
When firefighters arrived, Molloy said, they saw smoke and fire billowing out of the front of the building. Officials determined the fire began on the first floor and spread to the second. It took firefighters about 30 minutes to knock down the flames and several hours to overhaul the fire.
Because the home is older and was constructed with lath and plaster walls and a sub floor, it took awhile to ensure the fire was out, Molloy said.
The blaze caused more than $100,000 in damage, although an exact estimate hasn’t yet been made, he said. The cause is under investigation.
