The fire ignited just 15 feet from the Beechwood Road home just off Knickerbocker Road shortly before 3:30 p.m. Monday, responders said.

Everyone in the house got out OK and no injuries were reported.

The house and a neighbor's house sustained some damage, as did nearby trees and a length of wooden fencing.

The blaze "appeared accidental in nature, pending the results of an investigation," Cresskill Fire Chief Christopher S. Ulshoefer said.
