A Sunday afternoon blaze at a Seward Drive home was put down without incident or injuries but left the residence uninhabitable, according to an Ocean Township Police Department news release issued by Det. Lt. Timothy R Torchia.
Officers Michael DeSimone and Daniel Weber responded near 12:11 p.m. to the Seward Drive home, according to the report.
From the news release:
Upon arrival, they observed smoke coming from the residence. As other officers were arriving DeSimone and Weber forced the front door open. Efforts to clear the residence were made until the smoke conditions prohibited further search.

The exact cause of the fire remains under investigation by the Ocean Township District #2 Fire Marshal Dean Schoch and the Monmouth County Fire Marshal’s Office.
