Besides the absolute horror of the fire, I am sorry but what were ferrets doing in aquaria in an attic given how hot attics can get during summers and that aquaria simply are not good housing for them? I hope that my fears of the situation before the animals deaths are unfounded and the conditions were not as they read for me: <http://www.northjersey.com/news/031110_Fire_destroys_Lodi_home_kills_about_30_pets.html> and that was very kind of the man to try to rescue who he could so perhaps statements like the implication of ferrets being in aquaria are wrong and something had been worked up for summertime cooling.
