Connecticut Firefighters Save a Dog, 4 Puppies From a Burning House

Firefighters are both inspirational and heroes. And that was proved again early this morning at a house fire in Killingly, which is located in the northeast corner of Connecticut in Windham County.

Around 5 a.m. a passerby saw a house on Squaw Rock Road fully engulfed in flames, according to NBC 30 Connecticut. The Fire Department responded and while the homeowner wasn’t home because they were in the process of moving, there were several occupants inside.

Firefighters were able to rescue a dog and five puppies and even gave them oxygen, NBC 30 and WFSB 3 report. One puppy didn’t make it though.

The house was a total loss, NBC reports, and it was tough for firefighters to extinguish the blaze because there were no hydrants.
