A New Jersey home went up in flames on Tuesday morning, with firefighters working to contain the large blaze.

Mayor Arvin Amatorio posted on Facebook that there are no reported injuries. 

He said he spoke with the homeowner, and borough officials will help coordinate support with the Red Cross to assist the family with any immediate needs.

"Thank you to Bergenfield's bravest responders and our mutual aid partners for the quick response, support and coordination," he wrote.
