The incident happened on Saturday, March 23, when damage was found at a home in Pelham Manor on Shore View Circle, according to village officials.

Firefighters soon responded to the residence and evacuated the home after detecting a strong gas odor. Crews also discovered that the residence's chimney was pulled away from the structure and that the foundation was compromised, officials said.
