The fire happened on Sunday, June 18 in White Plains at a residence located at 160 Concord Ave., where a heavy exterior fire spread into the interior of the building, according to White Plains Professional Fire Fighters IAFF Local 274.
Once crews arrived at the scene of the blaze, firefighters made a "difficult push" through the front of the house to search the floor where the fire had started, which had conditions of high heat and no visibility, the department said.
Crews were eventually able to isolate the affected room from the rest of the house while waiting for a hose line, which prevented more damage from occurring.
Three hand lines were used to extinguish the fire. Luckily, all of the residence's occupants were able to escape and no injuries were reported as a result of the incident.
The Hartsdale Fire Department and Greenburgh Uniformed Fire Association IAFF 1586 also helped respond to the fire.
