Two women die in Rockland County house fire

NEW CITY – Two women were found dead inside a house that burned early Thursday morning at 36 Stratford Place in New City.

Clarkstown Police said the bodies of Barbara Calise, 79, and Yvonne Calise, 54, were removed from the house after firefighters from a number of companies battled the two-alarm blaze which broke out shortly before 6:30 a.m.

The cause of the fire is under investigation but does not appear to be suspicious, according Clarkstown Administrative Sgt. Jo Anne Fratianni. Preliminary investigation reveals the fire may have started in the basement.

The Rockland County Medical Examiner’s Office responded and removed the bodies.
