Within an hour, the flames that were shooting out of the first-floor den were contained and the investigation into the cause of the blaze had begun, Croydon Fire Company Chief Tom Tryon said.

Firefighters arrived to find two propane tanks in front of the home and one on the side of the house, Tryon said.

No injuries were reported.
