A woman and a dog have died after a fire on Pequabuck Street in Bristol on Thursday morning, according to the deputy fire chief.
Video captured by a neighbor showed heavy fire coming from the front of the home.
Firefighters arrived at the scene around 9:15 a.m., Deputy Fire Chief David Butkus said. They were able to extinguish the flames in about 20 minutes, he said.
Butkus said no one else was found in the home and a brother said that she lived alone.
