County fire officials closed their investigation after determining that the cause was not suspicious, he said.

The home’s occupants were able to flee to safety. No firefighters were injured, Fine added.

Among the units providing mutual aid were Yorktown Heights, Bedford Hills, Katonah, Pleasantville, Briarcliff, and Armonk. Due to the high heat and humidity that day, additional resources were needed to allow departments to rotate crews.

It took more than four hours to completely extinguish the fire and then to check for any lingering hot spots, Fine said.
