    Bridgeport, Conn. (WTNH) - About a dozen residents of Bridgeport are being sheltered tonight outside their homes because of a fire.

    The blaze broke out at a home on Bunnell Street and Connecticut Avenue late Monday afternoon. Flames jumped to the building next door.

    No one was hurt.

    "When I came out the front door there was smoke pouring out the door and from the second floor out on the side and by the time I realized there was a fire I turned around and the flames had come down the stairs and I couldn't get back into my house," said victim Kelly Ortiz.

    One dog and a cat were killed in the fire.

    No word yet on a cause.
