The flames spit ash and debris all over the neighborhood.
"There's a considerable amount of soot and ash in my hair just from being on my roof. It's just raining down," Ben Warburton said.
Some quick-thinking residents were able to get outside and hose down their own home before flames spread even further.

Firefighters from the city of Bayonne helped North Hudson Regional Fire and Rescue as they fought the blaze throughout the night.

Thankfully, no one was injured.
