An entire colony of 13 Patas monkeys were trapped in their cage and killed during a devastating blaze at a safari park - just 10 days after five animals died following a fire at London Zoo.The fire ripped through their winter enclosure at the Woburn Safari Park in Bedfordshire for more than two hours and killed all of the Patas monkeys on the site.Fire crews have now blamed a faulty generator for causing the blaze which virtually completely destroyed the building after the roof collapsed.It comes just days after blaze broke out in the animal adventure section at London Zoo on December 23, which killed a nine-year-old aardvark and four meerkats.Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue Service said: 'We have concluded that it is likely that the fire started accidentally in a generator.' Drew Mullin, a park spokesman, told Sky News: 'When the fire crew arrived, unfortunately they found it was at the jungle and it's the Patas house.'On arrival, the roof had already collapsed, and nothing could be done to save the 13 Patas that were inside.'Everybody here - staff, animal keepers - are all devastated.' He added: 'They've inspected it - the house - and said, from what they can see, there may well be a generator fault.But we will have to do the investigations to find out.' Paul Goddard, the Fire Station Commander at Kempston, told the BBC he was 'surprised at the amount of animals still in the cage which couldn't get out' while firefighters desperately tried to put out the blaze.He said: 'Our first instinct would be to rescue the animals if we could, but to do that we need to get the fire under control.'But the location of the incident and where it was made that difficult to assess.' 'From the staff's point of view, they are devastated with the loss of the monkeys, and obviously the building and the effect that it has on their staff within the park.' The park also confirmed it is investigating what caused the fire and the Jungle enclosure will be the only part which will remain closed.The blaze wiped out all of the park's Patas monkey troop, and, according to website UK Zoos, the only other place in the UK that houses them is Colchester Zoo in Essex.The Patas monkeys are the park's most-loved animals because they often climb on cars as visitors drive through and staff are said to be devastated today.Animal lovers were quick to share their sadness after hearing that the 13 monkeys had perished in the fire.Martin Underhay wrote on Twitter: 'This is so sad.We love monkey world and so sad to see so many of these incredible animals being killed at Woburn.' Siobhan @Mum-to-4 said: 'Really sad to read this.We always loved seeing the monkeys at @Woburn-Safari.Thoughts with everyone dealing with this.Poor monkeys.' Pam Graney added: 'So so so sad only down the road from me.Horrid news to wake up to.' Some users were quick to criticise the park for caging the animals.@Fiendish-Swine wrote: 'Woburn Safari Park fire: Thirteen monkeys killed, another reason why animals should no
