LAKE LUZERNE — Multiple fire departments fought a fire Sunday evening into Monday that heavily damaged a residence belonging to TV celebrity chef Rachael Ray.

A spokesperson for Ray released a statement saying that Ray, her husband and their dog are safe following the fire: "Rachael, her husband John and their dog Bella are safe. The house is unfortunately damaged and we don't yet know to what extent."

The home, located at 22 Chuckwagon Drive in a residential area in Lake Luzerne, is owned by Ray, according to Warren County property records.

Firefighters and emergency personnel were called to the scene at 7:27 p.m. for a structure fire. Fire departments from across the region were called to the scene to assist with tankers to provide water and manpower.

I wonder if she was cooking. Not being funny, but the time makes it possible. No matter what, glad they are all safe.

and flames melted the microwave and reached to the ceiling. I didn't have time to read the instructions on the fire extinguisher but remembered hearing that basking soda puts fires out fast. I grabbed the open boxes in my fridge and freezer and the fire was out instantly. Poor microwave was beyond dead.

I am paranoid since my grandmom got badly burned while trying to put out a kitchen fire after picking some herbs outside.
