NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) -- A Rockland County mother and daughter died Thursday morning following an intense blaze that kept would-be rescuers at bay.
The blaze broke out around 12:30 a.m. in New City.
The house on Stratford Place is now a charred shell -- blackened on all sides, open to the sky, riddled by flames so hot the siding melted from a home 25 yards away.
