New Main Street in Yonkers is open again after crews responded to a two-alarm fire that broke out in a basement of a church on the street on Monday.

Officials from the Yonkers Fire Department said they got a report around 1:30 p.m. that smoke was coming out of a building at 242 New Main St.

When the crews arrived, they found that the address is home to two organizations - a salon, on the left, that was open and a church, on the right, that was closed.

Firefighters forced their entry into the closed church and found that there was a fire in the walls of the basement. They opened up all of the walls and said it took them about 20 to 25 minutes to put the fire out with no extensions to any of the buildings next door to it.

Officials said the effort required three hose lines. Over 50 firefighters responded to the scene. No injuries were reported and a cause of the fire hasn't been determined yet.

"Any time you have something with a basement fire, that's a big challenge," said Deputy Fire Chief Joseph Citrone. "Heat rises, you have to go down into the heat, there's no windows, no ventilation, there's very little light."

Citrone said people who live in the four-story residential building near the church had to be evacuated out of an abundance of caution, but he added that building was deemed unaffected.
