Incident Location: 16 Laurel Avenue

Late on the night of Wednesday, June 12th, 2024, the Hempstead Fire Department was called to a house fire on Laurel Avenue off Peninsula Boulevard. When firefighters arrived on scene, they were met with heavy fire showing from a two and a half story peaked roof private dwelling. A working fire was transmitted, and mutual aid requested. Firefighters attempted an interior attack; however, due to the significant fire load were forced to go to an exterior attack a short time into the operation. Multiple hand lines were used along with a trio of master streams. The fire reached a second alarm equivalency which brought additional resources into the scene and new units to standby. The lone occupant inside the home made it safely and was not seriously injured. The cause of the fire is under investigation and all fire department units were under the command of Hempstead Assistant Chief Fitzroy. (Text Credit K2M)
