The fire broke out on Ramapo Ave just after 2 a.m. Saturday in Pompton Lakes.
A house exploded while firefighters responded to a fire in New Jersey."Our whole house shook and we came downstairs and saw the whole house in flames and the firemen were there -- the trucks came and they had water coming from a ladder up top," said Sinning.
According to the Pompton Lakes fire department, a police sergeant driving through the area spotted the flames and called the fire in. A squad of firefighters ran in -- but several were carried out following the blast."Just happy he's still alive and that he has his life and not injured. I jsut pray for the firefighters who did get hurt and that they'll heal," Brewer said.
The Fire Marshal is investigating what caused the fire. Two firefighters were burned and were taken to the hospital -- they have since been released. Three others were treatedat the scene.
