Maida Avenue [4-23-14]
Just after one in the afternoon on April 23rd the Deer Park Fire Department was alerted to a reported house fire at 167 Maida Avenue off of Tell Avenue. The initial call reporting the fire came from a neighbor who advised that the house across the street from them was on fire. As per procedure West Islip was notified for the automatic mutual aid and responded with 3-17-6. When firefighters arrived on scene they were met with smoke showing from the two story residence and immediately went on to transmit the working fire. With the transmission of the working fire North Babylon was notified for the RIT and was soon on scene with Ladder 1-8-6.
Deer Park Engine 1-4-7 was the first engine on scene and went on to put two lines into operation. Ladder 1-4-10 was the first truck company on scene and took to the front of the home. During the operation one additional ladder/truck company was requested to the scene and so Wyandanch Ladder 1-10-5 responded. Bay Shore Engine 3-1-2 was also present. By 13:45 hours firefighters all the main body of fire knocked down and the scene was placed under control [signal 4 transmitted]. The cause of fire remained under investigation by the Town of Babylon Fire Marshal. All fire department units were under the command of Deer Park Chief of Department Lawrence Bradbury [1-4-30].
