Raw video from Red Bank, NJ house fire

Video from redbankgreen of a fire early this (Wednesday) morning in Red Bank, New Jersey (Monmouth County).

John T. Ward, Red Bank Green:

Joan Raymond, of 23 Madison Avenue, said the smoke alarm, intoning a prerecorded “fire,” went off shortly after midnight, and she went downstairs to find her front porch in flames. She exited through the back door.

Volunteer firefighters arrived at about 12:25 a.m. to find the front of the house fully engaged, with a live electrical line sparking in a driveway to the left and Raymond’s Mercedes in a ball of fire on the right, just inches from the porch.

 Neighbors reported having smelled faint smoke as early as 9:30 p.m.
