BEL AIR, Md. — Six puppies died in a Bel Air shed yesterday, after a heat lamp in the shed accidentally caught fire.
The space heater was being used to keep the 8-week-old puppies warm in the wood shed, at the end of a cul-de-sac on Harrington Road.

The fire caused a total of about $5,000 in property damage.
