Three people were injured in yesterday’s structure fire at a residence on Tuyahov Boulevard in Toms River, authorities said today, including a female resident, a neighbor, and a firefighter.

As first reported on TLS, emergency crews from the Toms River Township Police and Fire Departments responded to the scene at approximately 10:50 a.m. Upon arrival, first responders learned that a neighbor had already rescued a woman from inside the home.

Both the woman and the neighbor sustained injuries in the fire. The female victim was transported to Thomas Jefferson University Burn Center in Philadelphia, where she is listed in stable condition. The neighbor was taken to Community Medical Center in Toms River, where he was treated and released.

During efforts to extinguish the blaze, a firefighter suffered minor injuries and was also transported to Community Medical Center, where he was treated and released.

An investigation conducted by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit-Arson Squad, Toms River Township Police Department Detective Bureau, and Toms River Bureau of Fire Prevention determined that the fire originated in a bedroom on the south side of the residence. Authorities concluded that the fire was accidental, though they noted that failure of lithium-ion batteries could not be ruled out as a possible cause.
