The blaze started shortly before 4:47 p.m. Sunday on the house on 400 block of Northeast Avenue in Vineland, Fire Department Lt. Wayne Fowler said.
Firefighters responded and had the fire under control by 5:27 p.m., Fowler said.
The two-story structure sustained fire, smoke and water damage that was heaviest on the top floor, he said.
Investigators have not yet determined how the fire started, but believe it was accidental, he said.
The Southern Shore Chapter of the American Red Cross also responded to help the four adults living there.
