Brick police said one resident was home when flames broke out around 3:30 p.m. on Bay Way.

The fire sent thick black smoke into the air. Southwest winds gusting to 25 mph helped the fire spread to the upper portion of the house next door and causes spot fires on another property.

A firefighter suffered a minor burn and was treated by EMS at the scene, according to police.
