A Christmas Day fire destroyed a house at the Jersey Shore.
The fire broke out Wednesday afternoon in the three-story single-family house on Peter Court in Monmouth County’s Wall Township.
Firefighters from the surrounding area responded to battle the blaze. The occupants escaped uninjured, but a pet died, News12 reported.
The fire rekindled Thursday morning. Residents in the surrounding area reported smelling smoke due to low clouds keeping it from escaping into the atmosphere.
