Orchard Street [9-25-20]

On the afternoon of Friday, September 25th, 2020 the Oyster Bay Fire Companies along with mutual aid units operated on the scene of a signal ten [working fire] on Orchard Street off South Street. The fire was in a large, detached garage that was housing at least three vehicles and several hazardous materials. The heavy volume of fire began to extend to the two and a half story private dwelling that the garage belonged to; however, firefighters were able to keep the extension to the exterior of the home. Several hand lines were put into operation to extinguish the fire which brought units from Locust Valley, East Norwich, and Syosset to the scene, among others. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
