It's every zookeeper's worst nightmare (well, one of them... we tend to be fairly neurotic and have lots of worst nightmares) - a natural disaster that forces you to evacuate the zoo. Thankfully everything has turned out okay - the fire is mostly contained, animals are being returned to their enclosures (only some smaller ones were relocated), and no damage was done to the zoo. This time. Incidents like this serve to underscore the critical importance of constant drills and training for whatever disaster your areas are most prone to - fire, hurricane, flood, tornado, etc. There may come a time when the lives of your staff, your visitors, and your animals depend upon it.
