From Riverside Park I noticed some thick smoke coming from the NJ side. I got to a high vantange on the NY side and witnessed a
raging house fire.

Looks to have started in the yard and spread to the main house.

Firemen vented the roof but the strong wind sucked the fire throughout the house.



Eventually they got the fire in the yard under control and then dumped water on top of the house for 1 hr. It sucks this happened on Father's Day, but hopefully no one was hurt and the fire did not spread to any of the nearby houses.
