A good piece. I think here in England news reports do tend to comment on whether animals have died or not—we are a bit more sentimental—but the sympathy is limited.
Thinking about tens of thousands of animals dying in a fire is just horrific, like the firebombing of Dresden. It is a wonder the fire crews and others don’t have some sort of trauma from the sound, smell and sight.

Thanks. I didn't think about the toll it must take on the first responders, but yeah, I bet it's really hard on them.
