“I look to my right and there’s this giant two-story flame reaching up. I was like wow, I’ve never seen a fire that strong before,” said neighbor Marc Agostino, whose family tried to help put out the blaze until firefighters arrived.
No injuries were reported.
A floating ember likely caused the blaze, firefighters said.
