A good Samaritan helped wake up a family and get them out of their house as it went up in flames in Toms River.

The family was displaced from their home as a result of the fire.

The fire department says a lit cigarette sparked the fire outside, quickly spreading to the home.

They say it happened just before midnight Saturday on Leawood Avenue.

The family of four is receiving help from the Red Cross and has also set up a GoFundMe page.

No one was hurt.
