One horse has died and another was injured Thursday morning after a fire erupted at a property in Coconut Creek.
The fire was reported at about 5 am. at Red Stone Ranch and Rescue, located at 4551 Northwest 39th Ave.
Scotty Leamon, a public information officer for the Coconut Creek Police Department and Coconut Creek Fire Rescue, told Local 10 News that firefighters got the barn fire under control in less than 20 minutes.
“We are investigating the cause of the fire along with Coconut Creek Fire Rescue. The State Fire Marshal’s Office is assisting in the investigation,” Leamon said in an email to Local 10. “Coral Springs-Parkland Fire Rescue and Lauderhill Fire Rescue helped us on this call.”
After the fire was extinguished, first responders placed a yellow tarp over the deceased horse. The injured horse was placed inside a horse trailer before being taken to the veterinarian.
