Fire at Severna Park home leaves two dogs dead
moving at a “glacial pace of compliance.” The motion pointed to a detainee with insufficient medical documentation who died this summer. The report didn’t include comment from the defendants. Fire tore through a Severna Park home Thursday, displacing a family of four and killing two of their pets before firefighters extinguished it. The Anne Arundel County Fire Department responded at 7:29 p.m. to a family home on Surrey Road to find a kitchen fire burning. Firefighters were able to extinguish the blaze in less than 10 minutes, said a department spokesman, Russ Davies. But the fire madethe homeuninhabitable and killed two family dogs. The home belonged to Anna Torres-Radle and her family, owners of the local Fieldstone Animal Inn. Other pets were safe, as they were outside at the time. The Radle family was not home when the house caught fire. “When they returned home black smoke filled the house and flames were coming from the kitchen windows,” according to a GoFundMe campaign set up to benefit the family. The fundraising campaign has raised $11,235. The family could not be reached for comment. The official cause of the fire is still under investigation, Davies said. The fire caused $85,000 of damage.
