Fire breaks out at London Zoo

A fire broke out at London Zoo early yesterday, engulfing a cafe and shop near an animal petting area, and leaving one aardvark missing. Several staff were treated for smoke inhalation and shock following the blaze, which broke out in the Animal Adventure section shortly after 6:00 am, the zoo said. "Duty staff that live on site at the zoo were on the scene immediately, and started moving animals to safety," it said.
