Overnight Fire Severely Damages Storage Building In Chappaqua

CHAPPAQUA, NY — A commercial building suffered severe damage in an overnight fire in Chappaqua Tuesday.

The fire, near the intersection of King Street and Route 117, was called in by a New Castle police officer on patrol just before 1 a.m.

The fire was in a storage building used by Optimum, said Paige Seltzl, who caught the commotion on the security cameras for her next-door business, Hair Atelier. "I called New Castle police to make sure my salon wasn’t in danger," she told Patch.

Assisting the Chappaqua Fire Department at the scene were volunteers from Thornwood, Pleasantville, Millwood and Mount Kisco departments, while the Armonk Fire Department stood by in Chappaqua in case of any other calls.

The Chappaqua Volunteer Ambulance Corps, Westchester EMS Paramedics and Pleasantville Volunteer Ambulance provided assistance.
