The fire took place in Norwalk around 7:50 p.m., Friday, Sept. 9, on France Street.
The fire was located in a two-apartment unit at the rear of the property, said Edward McCabe, assistant chief operations for the Norwalk Fire Department.
Initial reports stated that all occupants were out of the building except for a dog on the first floor, McCabe said.
Upon arrival, the first engine company encountered smoke and fire in the kitchen of the first-floor unit. While attacking the fire, they found the dog in the kitchen, he added.
The dog was carried outside to fire personnel, who administered oxygen and rendered care, and then transported in a department car to the Norwalk 24-hour Emergency Vet Center where it is recovering, McCabe said.
The fire was contained to the first floor.
Occupants of both apartments were displaced due to fire and smoke damage, McCabe said.
There were no reported injuries to firefighters or civilians.
The Norwalk Fire Marshal Division is investigating the cause of the fire.
