Plaza Road [4-4-20]

On the evening of Saturday, April 4th, 2020 the Glenwood and Roslyn Fire Companies responded to a car versus house with entrapment and fire at the corner of Glen Cove and Bryant Avenues. When firefighters arrived on scene, they were met with a confirmed car into a house with fire on Plaza Road [in the Roslyn fire district]. Moments into the operation Roslyn command transmitted a signal ten [working fire]. Sea Cliff was designated the FAST and responded to the scene with Ladder 574 along with East Norwich who sent one engine. Two hand lines were stretched, and one line was put into operation resulting in a quick knockdown of the main body of fire. During the operation a TRT [technical rescue team] matrix was requested to respond to the scene to help shore up the structure. All occupants made it safely out of the home; however, the driver of the vehicle [the lone occupant] did not survive despite being quickly extricated. The cause of the accident is under investigation and there did not appear to be any other vehicles involved in the accident.
