Officials Investigate 'Suspicious' Fire

No one was injured in a fire that tore through the home at 35 Cedar Pond Lane near the border of Cortlandt Manor and Yorktown Monday afternoon. 

More than 75 firefighters from Lake Mohegan and several other departments responded to the blaze around 1:35 p.m. By 3:30 p.m., it was knocked down and members of the Westchester County Cause and Origin Team were on the scene. 

"The fire is considered suspicious at this time," Lake Mohegan Chief Adam Cerrato said.

There was someone in the house at the time the fire broke out, but the person self-evacuated, according to Cerrato.

Police are investigating.
