The Beacon Hills Fire Department is battling a fire at a town house complex.
According to the Naugatuck Police Department, the fire broke out around 6:30 a.m. at 39 Horton Hill Road.
The fire department was working for hours in the frigid temperatures to put the flames out.
Erin Bailie and her sister called 9-1-1 after seeing smoke billowing out of their neighbor's basement. She says the fire then spread quickly to their unit, causing a total loss.
"It's either laughing or crying because you have nothing left," Bailie said. "So I'm not really sure what to do."
Bailie said her neighbor went back into the home several times looking for his dogs. He was taken to the hospital for possible smoke inhalation. His mother was also transported.
Their conditions are not know at this time.
