YONKERS, N.Y. -- A three-alarm fire that ripped through a two-and-a-half story home at 2 Landscape Place in Yonkers on Monday is under control, Yonkers Fire Department officials said.
A total of 65 firefighters battled the blaze, which began just after 3 p.m. Several firefighters injured.

Eight adults have been relocated as a result of the fire and two dogs have been rescued, according to the Yonkers Fire Department.
