A home fire in the Louden Woods neighborhood on Friday afternoon was snuffed by Rye FD.

On Friday at 3:47pm, Rye FD responded to a call reporting heavy smoke inside a structure at 20 Loder Street. Upon arrival, responders found a home under renovation with an active fire in the dining room ceiling and smoke rising from the floorboards above. Firefighters quickly began removing a section of the ceiling to access and extinguish the fire.

While surveying the building’s exterior, additional smoke was detected coming from the gable vents on the rear and left side of the structure. Supported by Rye Brook firefighters, Rye FD continued to search for any extension of the fire in the upper floors and attic area. Due to concerns about water pressure, the Harrison Fire Department was called to support water supply operations and then transitioned to cover any additional calls in Rye City while crews operated. The fire was ultimately contained to the area of origin, resulting in minimal damage to the home.

The Westchester County Cause and Origin team, along with the Rye Building Department, responded to the scene. The Cause and Origin team determined the fire to be accidental/ unintentional and electrical in nature.
