A fast-moving fire severely damaged a house and left a family homeless in Croton-on-Hudson this morning.
Fire officials say the blaze broke out around 9:15 a.m. on Angela Drive. When crews arrived, they found heavy flames on the second and third floors.
Inside the home was an elderly couple along with their daughter, her husband and two children, who are all visiting for the Christmas holiday. They were all able to get out safely.
More than 60 firefighters were needed because the 19th century home was mostly built of wood, and the fire was concentrated on the upper floors.
Investigators say the fire was started accidentally, but haven't released the exact cause.
