ABERDEEN, N.J. (CBSNewYork) -- Officials are investigating a fire that ripped through a home in Monmouth County Thursday afternoon, sending one person to the hospital.
Flames broke out in a home on Highfield Avenue in Aberdeen before spreading to the two homes next door.
Officials say the strong winds as well as a leaking propane tank made battling the blaze more challenging.

Officials say a dog was also rescued from the fire, which remains under investigation.
