A structure fire that erupted at a Dallas shopping center Friday morning killed over 500 animals, most of which were small birds, according to authorities.

The cause of the blaze remains unknown, and no human injuries were reported. The animals died as a result of smoke inhalation, according to authorities.

The fire occurred at the Plaza Latina Bazaar, which houses a pet shop that was directly affected by the fire.

“While fire did not reach the pet shop, a great deal of smoke did enter. While DFR personnel did search and attempt rescue, all animals in the shop unfortunately perished due to smoke inhalation,” Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesperson Jason Evans said in a statement.
