Firefighters rescued four residents from a burning home on High Street around 9 p.m. as heavy flames shot from the two-story building.
There was an all-out effort to make sure everyone was accounted for as neighbors knocked on doors.
One man said he was passing by and saw the smoke.
"I ran inside the building, I started banging on the doors saying 'fire, fuego,' I went all the way upstairs trying to get as many people as I possibly could, by the time I did that, then firefighters arrived," good Samaritan James Czerwinski said.
Three firefighters were treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
Additionally, one of the resident's dog died due to smoke inhalation.
One family has already set up a GoFundMe and said they lost everything. They are looking for help to clothe and purchase necessities for their children -- ages 2, 3 and 11.
Investigators are still looking into what sparked the fire.
