Three families were displaced in Aberdeen and Keyport on Christmas Day after fires broke out in their homes, officials said.

A fire engulfed a home on Woodmere Drive in the Cliffwood Beach section of Aberdeen on Christmas Eve and then rekindled hours later, said Keyport Assistant Fire Chief Ed Lewandowski, whose department aided in the response. There were no injuries.

It displaced three people from two families, according to the Red Cross.

In the afternoon, another fire broke out on Main Street in Keyport, displacing a family of as many as 10 people and at least seven dogs, Lewandowski said. No one was injured in that incident.

"Fire was pushing out both windows of the attic," Lewandowski said of the Keyport fire. "We had a lot of smoke and fire coming out the front as well."

The Red Cross was helping families from both fires with temporary housing, food, clothing and other needs, officials said.

The causes of the fires are under investigation. But Keyport Fire Chief Daniel Fox said the cold temperatures and holiday lights can create dangers.

"You can overload the power strips this time of year," Fox said.

The Matawan-Aberdeen First Aid Squad thanked its members as well as the Aberdeen Police Department, Aberdeen Fire, Matawan Fire, Cliffwood Fire, Morganville Fire, Keyport Fire, Keyport First Aid, Union Beach Fire, Holmdel Fire and the Monmouth County Fire Marshal for responding to the fire and other incidents Tuesday night including an unrelated car crash.

"Your teamwork and commitment were crucial in ensuring the safety of our community during this challenging night," it said in a social media post.
