Accidental Fire at Jodie Marsh’s Sanctuary Kills Two Marmosets

Fire officials cite an accidental electrical cause as Marsh mourns two hand-reared marmosets.

Overview

  • Essex County Fire and Rescue Service was called at 4:56pm Saturday to Fripps Farm in Lindsell, Dunmow, where crews found and contained an upstairs bedroom fire.
  • The service recorded the blaze as accidental and started by an electrical item, according to an official spokesperson.
  • Two marmosets died in the incident, and Marsh said she had been hand-rearing them after their mother died.
  • Marsh posted a tearful video saying she was “broken beyond belief” and that the animals’ deaths were her greatest loss.
  • In her social media posts, she said she intends to move away and claimed the fire began in a recently purchased air purifier, a claim not specified by officials.
