It was a total team effort in response to and putting out the fire at the Silver Ridge Apartments on Edgewood Drive in Toms River late Sunday night with rescues taking place thanks to two good samaritans in another unit.
Toms River Police said that responding officers to the blaze around 11:20 pm saw many residents already outside of the units and knocking on doors to assist in a total clearing of the building.
Police said that they also came in contact with Jordan Finkle and Dominic Dowd “who advised that they just assisted in rescuing a woman from the burning apartment and, although they did not see or hear anyone else, the female told them there was another person inside.”
