On the morning of November 17th, 2013 the Mineola Fire Department hosted a multi-department drill at the former LILCO / LIPA Plant located at 250 Old Country Road. Smoke machines were strategically placed throughout the five story, vacant building and firefighters acted as though fire were present on various floors throughout. Several hand lines were put into place and techniques such as forcing entry and proper venting were utilized. Aside from the Mineola Fire Department there were units on scene from Garden City, Garden City Park, Floral Park, New Hyde Park, Stewart Manor, Mineola VAC, Williston Park, Carle Place, and Westbury among others. The operation was run from the north side of the building on Third Street under the direction of Mineola Chief of Department Jeffrey Clark.
