Flames burned through the roof and significantly damaged a Chappaqua house on Sunday. The blaze broke out on Sutton Farm Drive around 3:45 p.m. The fire, which resulted in the ceiling collapsing on the second floor, was accidental, Chappaqua Fire Chief John Maduras said. It was not immediately clear if officials had determined what caused the fire, though. Residents were home at the time of the fire, but there no injuries to the residents or firefighters, Maduras said. About 60 firefighters from multiple departments responded. Firefighters were on the scene for more than three hours. Firefighters arrived and found flames had spread through the attic and roof, Chappaqua First Assistant Fire Chief Russell Maitland said. Firefighters pushed into the home before they were forced out by a large ceiling collapse on the second floor, he said.
