Toms River Police responded to a structural fire just after 4 a.m. Thursday morning at 22 Admiral Avenue. The Howe family was home with their two daughters and three other family members one of which woke up to the smell of smoke. She began to alert other family members of a fire in the basement and they began to exit the house when their smoke detectors went off.
Toms River Fire Companies 1 & 2 , East Dover and island Heights Fire Company responded and extinguished the Smokey fire.
There were no injuries as a result of the fire that is being investigated by Officer Andrew Chencharik and Bureau of Fire Prevention inspector John Novak.
It appears a lit candle may have been what started the blaze.
