As a three-alarm fire tears through a building on a busy street in Westchester, authorities are warning residents to avoid the area.
The fire started in the area of 16 South Main St. (Route 1) in Port Chester late Monday morning, April 17, the Port Chester Fire Department announced around 11 a.m.
As firefighters battle the blaze, they are warning people to stay away from the area.

The fire caused Port Chester village officials to issue a warning to residents.
