Four people had been trapped inside the house when the roof caved in, forcing firefighters to evacuate.

"It is with great sadness that I must report the loss of Jennifer Wright, 39; Alaina Wright, 34; a 14 year-old female victim; and a four month-old infant, all of whom were occupants of the residence, and perished in the fire," Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer said. "This is an unspeakable tragedy, and our prayers are with the loved ones of these victims."

Brenda Wright, 67, was rescued from the back of the house and was hospitalized, he said, where she is currently in stable condition.

According to CBS News, Wright was the family's grandmother, who jumped out of the top window and broke her leg.

She tried to go back in and save the children, but passed out on the ground, CBS News reported.

The fire originated on the porch on the west side of the house, and that improperly discarded smoking material cannot be ruled out as the cause, Billhimer said.

"The cause of the fire has been ruled accidental," Billhimer said.

He thanked all of the neighbors, fire service personnel and emergency service personnel that responded in an effort to assist and suppress this fire.
