Two men are dead following a house fire in Jamesburg, New Jersey.
The flames broke out at the two-story, wood-framed home on 7 Sheridan Street around 3 a.m., according to fire officials. Authorities quickly put out the fire but the damage to the home appeared extensive.
The two bodies were found a short time later inside the single-family home. The names of the victims have not been released.
Adam Avedrabo says his dog started barking so he looked out his window and saw the home next door on fire.
"It's just completely leveled. You can just feel the flames, through the window, on your face," Avedrabo said. He said his neighbors have lived in the home for his entire life.
It wasn't immediately clear what sparked the fire.
