Rachael Ray’s home engulfed by fire
A
massive fire engulfed cooking show star Rachael Ray’s New York home,
authorities said.
Firefighters responded to Ray’s home in Lake
Luzerne, New York, on Sunday evening, KRQE-TV reported.
Photos of the house fire show flames bursting
through the roof and long plumes of smoke extending into the sky. The Warren
County sheriff said there were no injuries.
Ray’s representative Charlie Dougiello told USA TODAY in a statement that Ray, herhusband and dog were safe, but that the extent of damage to the home was notyet clear.
Since April, Ray has been filming “#STAYHOME With
Rachael” two days a week from her home in Lake Luzerne. Her husband, John
Cusimano, has been the show’s cameraman, producer, cocktail maker and musical
guest.
Amid the pandemic, Ray’s organisation donated US$4million to several charities including food banks, relief fundsfor laid off restaurant workers and animal rescue work.
She credited her mother, who lives across the street
and also operated a restaurant, with motivating her to give the donation.
“She wants a daily update of what you’re doing to
help the world. In detail,” Ray said.
