The fire happened around 4:00 a.m. Friday in the 300 block of North Harding Highway in Buena, New Jersey.
The fire went to multiple alarms, and a number of ambulances were dispatched to the scene.
When the first ambulance arrived, the crew saw a man yelling for help from the second story.
They backed the ambulance up to the house and the man jumped from the window and onto the ambulance roof.
He was taken to the hospital to be treated for minor smoke inhalation.
It took firefighters about a half hour to place the fire under control.
Investigators say the fire, which was contained to the kitchen, appears to be accidental.
