Firefighters in Sayreville were faced with a challenging and rapidly developing house fire that ignited Monday morning.
The blaze erupted in a two-story, single-family home in the 70's block of Furman Avenue around 3:30 a.m.
Upon arrival at the scene, fire crews were met with heavy flames, and the situation escalated when the fire began to spread to a neighboring house.
This possible extension prompted a second alarm to address the threat.
Firefighters bravely battled the inferno, stretching multiple lines to control the flames.
As of 4 a.m., no severe injuries have been reported. However, crews continued carefully searching the affected house to ensure no occupants were trapped or injured.
The cause of this early morning fire remains under investigation as authorities work to determine what sparked the blaze.
