First-floor residents were vacating the two-family home on Rose Street near Paterson Avenue as first responders arrived at 2:35 a.m., Police Capt. Jeff Yannacone said.
A search determined there was no one home upstairs, where the two-alarm kitchen fire originated, he said.
Firefighters had the fire doused in under a half hour. No injuries were reported.
Mutual aid was provided by firefighters from Carlstadt, Passaic, Rutherford and Wallington.
A cause wasn't immediately disclosed.
