According to a statement released by the Edmonton Fire Service, two English bulldogs perished in the blaze but fire fighters were able to resuscitate one pit bull by using a special oxygen mask designed specifically for animals.  The dog was then taken to a nearby veterinarian clinic where it is expected to survive.

The fire was called in around 4:15 p.m.  Fire fighters quickly arrived on the scene and found a locked building full of smoke.  After gaining entry they were able to put out the fire in less than 30 minutes.

Damages to the building as estimated around $175,000.
