They're still adding up the damage at Riverside Wildlife Refuge in Franklin County.

Fire tore through the facility Thursday morning. An employee was treated for minor burns and no animals were injured. The facility did, however, lose two buildings and most of its animal food.

Riverside is home to tigers, alligators, emus, frogs, turtles, snakes and other reptiles.

No word on a cause, but investigators say it appears to be an accident.
