A fire that engulfed a home last night at 510 Chestnut Road in the Village of Chestnut Ridge and left twenty people homeless rekindled this morning, bringing the fire department back on the scene and closing roads.  

Old Nyack Turnpike is closed in both directions from Chestnut Ridge Road to Fairview Avenue. Chestnut Ridge Road is also closed from Old Nyack Turnpike to Alpine Court. Drivers should expect delays in that area.

According to News 12, fire officials found no working smoke detectors in the house, which had multiple space heaters and electrical issues. Residents were taken to the Salvation Army facility in Spring Valley, where the Red Cross assisted them.

Fire Department units on the scene last night included South Spring Valley, Spring Valley, Monsey, Hillcrest, Tallman, and Nanuet. Ramapo Police Department, Clarkstown Police Department, and Rockland County Sheriff’s Patrol assisted at the scene. Rockland Paramedics, Faist EMS, and Spring Hill EMS were also on the scene.

The Ramapo Police Investigations Division is investigating the cause of the fire with the assistance of the Rockland County Bureau of Criminal Investigations.
