“The whole front and side of the house” near the intersection of Route 50 and 7th Street were on fire when firefighters responded at about 8 a.m., said Mays Landing Fire Chief Dave Connelly. The fire was under control after about an hour, he said.
None of the occupants were home, he said, but police were able to get in touch with the residents.
Between 60 to 70 firefighters were involved, Connelly said, including crews from Cologne, South Egg Harbor, Laureldale, Estell Manor, Germania and Elwood.
The cause of fire is still under investigation by the Hamilton Township Police Department.
