FDNY responded and battled the blaze for a short 10 minutes before they had it under control. A few people that were in the house when the fire broke out managed to get out without any injuries.
The cause of the fire is unknown and was deemed suspicious by a fire chief who ordered fire marshals to investigate.
This is the same location of another suspicious fire the broke out in a car on the property 7 months ago.
