YONKERS: Fire Department Sources say fire works destroyed an apartment building on Buena Vista Avenue overnight and when they arrive they saw evidence of spent fireworks in front of her building.
One of the five homeless Yonkers families lost their their cat and dog in the devastating fire.
The City of Yonkers has not released an official cause of the blaze that they say started at around 1 a.m, but city residents say their complaints about illegal fireworks have been largely ignored.

The Yonkers Police Department has made no arrests in the incident.
