Mahopac Falls Fire Chief Dan Meury says that they received a call just before 2 a.m. concerning a fire on Old Bullet Hole Road.
Upon reaching the scene, responders found the house entirely consumed by flames.
The firefighting effort posed challenges due to the remote location of the house. With the main water source situated over a mile away, mutual aid with tankers and relay hoses were necessary to transport water to the fire.
