Flames were tearing through a home at 224 Fulton St., when firefighters arrived around 10:30 p.m., officials said.
The blaze at the two- and- a-half wood-framed house spread to a three-story home and another two and a half-story house nearby, officials said.
No injuries were reported and no occupants were located, reports say. The blaze was deemed under control just before midnight.
"Every second counts when fighting a fire," Elizabeth NJ Fire Officers IAFF Local 2040 wrote on a photo of the hose through the car window.
"And selfish decisions like this vehicle owner made could cost someone their life."
