Yonkers, NY ~ On Wednesday, March 8th, 2023, shortly before 1 AM, Yonkers First Responders including Fire, Police, and EMS responded to reports of a residential building fire at 671 Bronx River Road. Upon arrival members of the Yonkers Fire and Police Department immediately began rescue, firefighting, traffic and crowd control operations. Residents were evacuated and approximately 65 persons were sheltered in the Scotti Community Center north of the fire scene with the assistance of the Office of Emergency Management and other City agencies. Fire Departments from other jurisdictions assisted with mutual aid to combat the general alarm fire which was brought under control hours later.
Dozens of firefighters and several residents suffered non-life-threatening injuries; sadly, a 67-year-old male resident of the 4th floor succumbed to injuries caused by the fire. Investigation yielded that the fire started in a 1st floor apartment due to an electric heating lamp used to cultivate six marijuana plants that a resident was growing for personal adult-use. Evidence recovered at scene and statements from the resident lead investigators to believe that the lamp detached from its hanging support and broke, sparking on the floor starting the fire.

Mayor Mike Spano commented on this tragedy saying "We continue to keep the victims of this senseless fire in our prayers, especially for the fire's sole fatality. I am proud of Yonkers first responders and city employees for their swift and courageous actions to minimize additional severe injuries or possible deaths. The cause of this tragedy only highlights the need for greater guidelines and regulations when it comes to legalized marijuana production so to avoid incidents like this in the future – so much more has to be done". Commissioner Chris Sapienza added "The tragedy of this incident is compounded by how avoidable it was. We have seen before how dangerous these high-powered devices can be, and without regulations or guidelines to protect the public, people are unnecessarily being placed at risk – marijuana laws need to be fixed; our communities demand it".
The incident remains under investigation and is being reviewed by Westchester County District Attorney's Office while New York State Office of Cannabis Management has yet to issue regulations governing home cultivation of cannabis as such adult-use home cultivation is currently not allowed. The deceased victim is identified as Michael Damiano; City of Yonkers along with Yonkers Police and Fire Departments offer their sincere condolences to his family and friends.
