South Marion Place [11-14-15]

In the early morning hours of November 14th, 2015 Rockville Centre firefighters along with mutual aid units battled heavy fire throughout 75 South Marion Place – an eighty-five year old two and a half story private dwelling. Firefighters originally received the call as a house fire with people trapped but were able to confirm during the operation that the occupants of home were not at the time of the fire. Those first to arrive on scene first attempted an interior attack but were forced to go exterior due to the intense fire load. Ladder trucks from Baldwin, Malverne, Lynbrook, and East Rockaway surrounded the home and were used while Rockville Centre’s ladders were out of service. Multiple hand lines were also put into operation around the home. Additional mutual aid was provided by Oceanside and Lakeview among others. The cause of the early morning blaze was under control. All fire department units were under the command of Rockville Centre Chief of Department Robert Seaman [4401].
