The fire alarm was raised around 2:00 am. The truck was transporting animals from Florida to four circus shows over the weekend in the northeastern Indiana city.
A police officer, a Grant County deputy and a circus employee were able to rescue five zebras, four camels and a horse. The animals were safely removed and taken to the Fort Wayne Coliseum, a venue used for performances in Indiana.
The men involved in the rescue efforts were taken to hospital due to smoke inhalation.
