The fire broke out on Route 46 in Buttzville shortly before 5:35 a.m., according to the Mountain Lakes Fire Company.
Fire crews performed a defensive attack and remained at the scene for most of the morning, the department said.
The blaze was just one of three fires the department responded to in less than 24 hours.
Meanwhile, more than $5,100 had been raised on GoFundMe for the victims of the fire, who “lost everything,” according to campaign organizer Margaret Pruitt.
“…My friend’s daughter and her family lost everything in a house fire this morning in Buttzville, NJ,” Pruitt writes.
“Please consider donating to help them get through this loss and rebuild their life.”
The cause of the fire remained under investigation, the department said.
