Here's the GoFundMe page for the Second Chance Wildlife Rescue on Barton Rd., Orlando.

There was a fire at the wildlife refuge last week, destroying the house and killing 41 animals. There have been numerous positive testimony for the organization, so I thought I would pass the gofundme information for everyone to use.

If you've got it, pitch in to help the refuge that, among its 300 plus animals it is taking care of, includes Robin William's Alpaca.

No foul play suspected in fire that killed 41 animals at Second Chance Wildlife

Investigators don’t suspect arson caused the fire that killed 41 animals Monday at the Second Chance Wildlife Sanctuary in east Orange County, a spokeswoman for the Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis said Friday.

“It doesn’t look like there was any foul play,” said Alecia Collins, a spokeswoman for Patronis, who oversees the Bureau of Fire, Arson & Explosives Investigations.

The fire destroyed the two-story home of caretaker/owner Jim Bronzo, who said he was awakened about 1:30 a.m. Monday by a shrieking peacock and flames engulfing the house. Neighbors who heard explosions called 911.

Bronzo, an artist and nuisance-wildlife trapper, said he believes the fire caused aerosol paint cans to explode.
