NYE COUNTY (KTNV) — A garage fire burned through the home of a Nye County deputy on Sunday morning.

The Nye County Sheriff's Office said Deputy Smith's garage with his cars inside was a total loss alongside k9 Zeus' kennel.

During the fire, k9 Zeus suffered some smoke inhalation but is expected to recover fully.

With insurance, Smith said it won't cover all the expenses. Zeus needs an outdoor kennel fence and a shed to continue his normal routine.
