Fire kills 13 monkeys at Woburn safari park

Thirteen monkeys have died in a fire in an enclosure at Woburn Safari Park in Bedfordshire, United Kingdom.

A member of the park's security staff spotted the fire during a routine patrol. 

The roof of the Patas monkey house, within the African Forest drive-through enclosure, collapsed as a result of the blaze. 

Fire crew arrived to find the outbuilding ablaze and spent two hours extinguishing the flames. 

Unfortunately none of the animals could be saved despite the efforts by staff and the Fire crew.
 
An investigation into the cause of the blaze has begun.
 
The attraction will remain open to the public.
