A fire that broke through the renovated home of famed chef Rachael Ray in New York started in a chimney-chimney, officials announced Friday.
The state Office of Fire Prevention and Control said the fire on Aug. 9 at Ray’s home in Lake Lucerne, NY, was accidental.
The flame sent flames through the roof of the house, at the end of a private drive in a rural area, about 60 miles (97 kilometers) north of Albany.

“Rachael, her husband and her dog Bella are safe,” her rep, Charlie Dougiello, said at the time.
