Flames shoot from 78 Holman St. in Fitchburg on Saturday morning as firefighters battle the blaze. (TIMOTHY SHEA PHOTO)
FITCHBURG -- A Holman Street homeowner is in critical condition in a Worcester hospital after he was pulled from his burning home by two Fitchburg police officers Saturday morning, fire officials said.
John R. Saulnier was transported directly to UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester and is in critical condition, according to fire personnel.
Police Officers Todd Deacon and Michael Sevigny were transported to HealthAlliance Hospital in Leominster for what appears to be smoke inhalation after helping rescue Saulnier from a window of the home at 78 Holman St.
Deputy Chief Kevin Curran said when the fire was reported, the two officers were some of the first officers on the scene and helped pull the occupant out of the window.
Police Sgt. Chuck Siomos said the two officers suffered non-life threatening injuries.
Both police officers were treated and released.
A dog living in the home perished in the blaze, according to Curran, and the city annimal control officer was called to the scene.
It appears the homeowner went back inside the home to rescue the dog, according to fire personnel.
Fire Captain Brian Murchie estimated the total damage of the home, including contents, at $225,000.

Two police officers hurt pulling man from burning Fitchburg home
CASS COUNTY, MO (KCTV) - Crews spent almost five hours battling a fire that fully engulfed a home in rural Harrisonville on Thursday.
By 10 p.m. what was left of the house was smoldering. It's now down to its foundation.
The distraught homeowner arrived some hours later. Jim Burch said he lost his job earlier in the week, and had gone to pick up his last paycheck. When he came home, his home was destroyed.
Burch said his shih tzu, his daughter's dog, and two cats died in the fire.
"It's hard to know what to think," Burch said. "You're kind of in shock. You start realizing all your records and pictures and heirlooms are just gone, and there's now way to get them back."
Burch's house is at East 299th Street and South Hess Road in Cass County. It's just west of Interstate 49.
The Cass County Sheriff's Office says a neighbor called in the fire. The homeowner wasn't there when the fire broke out, and officials contacted him to let him know what had happened.
There was so much fire. We really couldn't get ahead of it, said Harrisonville fire Capt. Johnny Coday.
Central Cass Fire Protection District worked to extinguish the flames which were seen shooting from every inch of the home. Two to three mutual aid companies were also on the scene to help.
The home was fully involved. The front part had already collapsed into the basement, Coday said.
