Watch FFs Battle Massive Blaze at Rachael Ray's NY Home

LAKE LUZERNE, NY—Multiple fire departments fought a fire Sunday evening into Monday at a residence belonging to TV celebrity chef Rachael Ray.

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

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

Photos submitted to The Post-Star from the scene show the residence completely engulfed in flames.

As of 11 p.m., firefighters remained on scene and the cause of the fire is unknown.

Ray owns nearly 200 acres in the Adirondacks near three chain lakes: Lake Vanare, Lake Forest and Lake Allure. She graduated from Lake George Central School in 1986, maintaining a seasonal residence in Lake Luzerne.

Recently, Ray has spent time in her Lake Luzerne home filming episodes with her husband John Cusiman for her New York City-based TV show as the coronavirus pandemic shut down production.

Ray is in the middle of hosting with her celebrity chef friends a virtual cooking camp for children ages 8-15 for charity. The cooking camp started on July 30 and is scheduled through Friday.

Monday's session is scheduled to feature Anne Burrell.

The proceeds from sponsorships and online donations are being split between the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and the Rachael Ray Yum-o! scholarship for students to attend Florida International University Chaplin School of Hospitality & Tourism Management.
