First responders were called to a home on Vassar Road in Newfoundland just after 8:30 p.m. on Dec. 20 for a reported structure fire, county officials said.

On arrival, firemen saw the home "fully engulfed in flames," but found that the building had been safely evacuated. Multiple agencies across Morris and Passaic counties took "several hours" to extinguish the flames, authorities added.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation by Jefferson Township police. To submit a tip, contact Detective Sgt. James Stokes at 973-208-6152.
