Flames Greet North Babylon on Arrival

On November 15, 2011, the North Babylon Fire Company was alerted for a working fire on Little East Neck Road. Upon the response of Chief of Department George Folise Jr. and his assistant chiefs, dispatch advised them of a possible boiler fire. Upon arrival, heavy fire was found on the exposure-one-side of the structure and the signal for a working fire (13-35, Suffolk County) was transmitted. Engine 1-8-4 was first due and stretched a one-and-three-quarter-inch attack line and a second line for backup. Second due engine 1-8-2 hit the hydrant and supplied water to the first due engine. The fire was brought under control within 15 minutes. There were no injuries reported for the blaze and the fire is under investigation by the Town of Babylon Fire Marshall's Office.
