Description Of Incident: Norwalk E5 arrived 1st due to find heavy body of fire venting from the eaves on the "A" side. E5 stretched a 1.75" handline to the kitchen area which was heavily involved. Fire was mostly contained to the kitchen area with heat and smoke on the floor above. Fire was also found in the area of the dormers which was extinguished during overhaul. Numerous kittens and cats were rescued from the building by Norwalk truck crews as well as 1 dog which was overcome by smoke. 1 cat was confirmed DOA. Norwalk EMS members assisted with attending to the animals which were transported to the emergency vet and are expected to be ok. I heard from the PD units that the dog was instrumental in waking up the occupant.
