A 4-alarm fire tore through a row of Jersey City homes early April 5.

At least two people were rescued from the homes, before flames spread to a car parked in front of one of them, NBC reports.

Footage captured by neighbor Sky Aviles shows the moment a car tire exploded in the massive blaze that brought more than 100 firefighters to the scene.

The cause remains under investigation.
