On 29 June 2025, firefighters fought a fire on the roof of the building at 333 North Bedford Road in Mount Kisco.

Contributing factors
Not reported. The caption does not say whether the fire started in the solar panels, the HVAC equipment, or elsewhere on the roof.
Lessons learned
- Roofs with both solar panels and HVAC equipment need a clear isolation plan so firefighters can make the array safe before entry.
- Early photo captions may not show whether panels started a fire or were only involved, so operators should await full reports.
- Commercial roof fires may need crews from neighbouring services, so operators should maintain current mutual aid contact lists.
