Shelter owner Jim Bronzo escaped the fire when he was awakened by screaming peacocks.

“I looked out the window and saw orange flames... I had no clothes, no phone,” Bronzo said. “I screamed, “Someone help me, someone please help me!” I felt so helpless...”

Bronzo managed to save his dog named Yoshi. Usually, Yoshi, three dead dogs and a small raccoon named Camilla slept with him in bed. The man was very afraid that Camilla died in the fire. But eight hours later, the animal returned home with burnt fur, but without serious damage.

Last week, Bronzo spoke at a meeting of the Orange County Commission, where he complained about a neighbor with whom the man had a conflict. It is not reported whether the police or firefighters suspect his guilt in the incident.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
