HARTSDALE — An elderly woman was found dead after a fire that destroyed a single-family home on Topland Road late last night.

The victim has not been formally identified but is believed to be the home's owner, Hartsdale Fire Lt. Scott Sawin said today.

Firefighters remained at the scene at 30 Topland Road as of 6:30 a.m. today searching the rubble.

The fire was reported about 11 p.m. Monday.

"It was fully engulfed in flames," said neighbor Virginia Baker, 43, who called 911 when she smelled smoke, thinking at first that it was coming from her own house. "It was like an inferno."

Neighbors said an elderly woman lived in the house. The mailbox was full of mail, and a silver car was parked in the garage.

Barbara Martin, another neighbor, said the car belonged to the woman, whom she has known for several years.

Adriane Belmont said she had known the homeowner for about 30 years, describing her as a good neighbor and "an active lady."

Hartsdale Deputy Fire Chief Peter Hirsh said the cause of the blaze was under investigation.

In addition to Hartsdale, the Greenville and Fairview fire departments responded, with White Plains and Elmsford standing by.
