Officials say the flames sparked at a gated community on Chippewa Court in Suffern around 7 p.m.
Several fire departments were called to the scene.
First responders say they saw flames shooting from the roof of the home when they arrived. "As an officer came up to the building, the windows exploded out of it.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
