Investigators are working to determine what sparked a deadly house fire in a South Jersey town on Monday.
Howardell was at work when she says a police officer rang her Ring doorbell to alert her that her neighbor's house was on fire. When Howardell got back to her house, which is located two houses down from where the fire started, she said she saw the destruction and heard officials on scene say a man and a dog were trapped inside.
"I called a friend of mine to come get my dog out. By the time I got here, it was completely engulfed in flames," said Howardell. "They did access the door and the dog came running out, but apparently somebody is trapped inside." The American Red Cross was also on scene, offering help any way they could to neighbors who were shocked and saddened to find out someone had died.
"I didn't even get a chance to meet the neighbors. I was hoping that this summer I would get to do that. They live so close by," said neighbor, Ron Rameshwar. "The thought that somebody just passed away is not easy to digest." Neighbors describe their community as tight-knit, and they want the family of the victim to know they will be there for them. Officials say they are still working to determine what caused the fire.
