The cause of a fire that destroyed the petting zoo barn at Noccalula Falls Park remains undetermined, according to Gadsden Fire Marshal Jason Talton.
The destruction of the building was so complete that an exact cause couldn t be found, but Talton said the investigation found nothing to indicate foul play.
Also undetermined at this point is the future of the petting zoo. Parks and Recreation Director Jen Weathington said the loss of the animals is still tough for the staff.
After the May 2 blaze destroyed the zoo, Falls Park Supervisor Christina Richardson said roughly 75 animals that were inside the barn perished in the fire. Among them were birds, baby alligators, a tortoise, 10 turtles and 20 to 25 guinea pigs.
