Fire Guts N.J. Home, Threatens Neighborhood; 1 Hurt, Authorities Say [VIDEO]

A fire continued to gut a Jersey Shore home on Monday morning and threatened to spread to other homes, while one injury was reported, police and eyewitnesses said.

One person was injured in the two-alarm fire on 4th avenue in Bradley beach, according to News12.

Everyone inside of the house got out, but one person was injured as he or she tried to put the fire out, according to the report.

Witness Bud McCormick told WOBM that the porch of the three-story home collapsed, the fire appeared to be spreading to the home next door. Police and fire crews cleared the scene because of a possible gas leak.

McCormick said a man in his 50s came out of the house, and a woman who lived in a garage apartment was also outside on the sidewalk. The heat from the flames could be felt across the street where he was standing, he said.

The residents of a home across the street turned on their yard sprinklers to protect themselves, according to the report.

We'll have more information as it becomes available.
