Firefighters battling flames from an overturned propane tanker are evacuating buildings in a one-mile radius of the stubborn fire in a mostly rural stretch of Bedminster, Bucks County, this morning.

The crash happened about 8 a.m., and as of 9:30 a.m., Easton Road (Route 611) remained closed as crews continued to spray the wreck near Creamery Road, apparently trying to allow a controlled burn-off.

One person was transported to a hospital, according to CBS3.

Fire officials at the scene first reported they were evacuating buildings within a half-mile of the fire but extended it to a mile as the blaze continued to burn.

Buildings in the area include a Whole Foods Store, medical offices and the Ottisville Volunteer Fire Co.

Strong winds blew over tree and knocked down wires going to house. Closed road and waited until Electric Company arrived and made repairs. Assisted Electric Company with killing a hornets nest. Cleared tree from road way. All station 160 units were clear at 5:50pm.

Received a call of wires arching/tree on fire at 16:48. Cleared by Sweetwater at 17:02
