Four people live in the building, according to Revere Fire Chief Chris Bright.
Mel, a 6-year-old dog, lives on the first floor. The dog's owner, Lucy Silva, was at work when the fire started, and she came home to find the animal wrapped in a blanket.

Silva says when she got a call from her landlord about the fire, she thought Mel was gone.
"Only me and her in the house, the dog's my best friend," she said. "Since I adopted her."
Two firefighters were sent to the hospital for heat issues, but are expected to be OK.
