Apparently last night the facility hired by Henry Kemp of Animaniacs was burning and he ran into the fire to save whatever animals he can. He packed a whole bunch of ball pythons that were in the quarantine area. By the time he came out the fire had reached him and in his haste to get past the flames he was engulfed, fell and dropped the box. The animals were all killed and he is in the burns unit with 35% second degree burns.
Our thoughts go out to him and his family. The cause of the fire is not known.

It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Ouch, that's a hard knock.
I commend you for your bravery and wish you as well as your business a speedy recovery.
The fact that such an awesome collection of animals was lost is also quite the knock to the hobby in certain aspects.
Good luck and our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

What a sickening feeling to hear of this tragic news. Fire is one of the greatest fears in reptile collections. We should all take this as a warning to ensure our systems are safe and working properly. Our thoughts go out to Henry and his family. Best wishes, Warren and Nicole.
