NBC Connecticut

Over two dozen people are displaced and several pets are dead after a fire broke out at a home in Waterbury Monday night.

The fire department was called to a two-alarm fire at a multi-family home on William Street. It appears as though fire tore through the third floor of the structure.

Six families lived in the building, and a total of 27 people were displaced. This includes 20 adults, six children and a baby, fire officials said.

It's unknown if there are any injuries, but the fire has been placed under control.

The cause of the blaze remains under investigation.
