Clubhouse Road [9-30-20]

On the night of Wednesday, September 30th, 2020 the Merrick Fire Department along with mutual aid companies operated on the scene of a signal ten [working fire] at a home on Clubhouse Road off Alexis Road. Those first to arrive on scene were met with heavy fire throughout the second floor of a two story, waterfront private dwelling with exposure issues on the number two and four sides. Firefighters first attempted an interior attack; however, due to the fire being so well advanced the operation turned defensive. At its height, the fire reached a second alarm equivalency which brought additional resources to the scene and to standby. Among the departments called for mutual aid was Freeport, North Bellmore, North Merrick, East Meadow, and Wantagh. All occupants made it safely out of the home. A canine was successfully located and rescued from the first floor well into the operation. The cause of the fire is under investigation and all fire department units were under the command of Merrick Chief of Department Paul Scolieri [6400].
