It's believed he had fallen asleep with a lit cigarette in his hand.
The cats were recovered from the ground floor property but nothing could be done to save them.
Both the dogs – a border terrier cross and a Staffordshire bull terrier – were unconscious when they were brought out and firefighters successfully battled to save them.
