Ways To Help Sleepy Hollow Families Displaced By Fire

GREENBURGH, NY — Communities in Westchester County continue trying to help 12 children and 26 adults who were displaced by a fire that gutted a multi-family home in Sleepy Hollow Sunday.

About 100 firefighters from more than a dozen departments around the region fought a blaze that started around 8 p.m. at 305 N. Washington St. in the village.

None of the residents were injured, but one firefighter was treated for smoke inhalation.

In a posting on the town of Greenburgh website, Supervisor Paul Feiner said the families lost just about everything they had, including some family pets.

He said Kenny Herzog, a Greenburgh snow angel, one of the founders of the Covid Angels Committee and executive director of #VaxUpWestchester, asked the town to share ways people can help.
