Bill Meyer’s Home Burns

Dog show photographer Bill Meyer’s home was destroyed by fire Saturday evening. Fortunately, no one was injured but it is reported the home was a total loss.

“My sister smelled something burning and she went to the garage since she thought the smell was coming from there,” said Bill’s son, Don Meyer. “She walked into the garage and saw flames,” he continued, “and they called the fire department.” He went on to say that the fireman were able to save their computers and backed-up data before putting out the flames. “My dad said the firemen were amazing,” Meyer said. “They were able to pull out some of the furniture and cover our computers before using water to douse the flames,” he said.

Don told us, “Luckily, everyone is okay. No one was injured and we are continuing with business as usual.” Don Meyer was at the Lakeland, Florida show circuit when the fire occurred and he is still there shooting photos today. “Please tell everyone that we are still operational and we will be at all of the upcoming shows on our schedule,” he said. “We will still be sending photos to our customers and we will do our best to help anyone in need of files to be emailed as well.”
