On the night of Tuesday, April 18th, 2023, the Hempstead Fire Department was dispatched to a report of an apartment fire on the fifth floor of 451 Fulton Avenue – a six story multiple dwelling located between Bennett Avenue and Robson Place. When firefighters arrived on scene, they were met with a confirmed fire on the fifth floor of the building with several occupants self-evacuating and others advising they were trapped in their apartments. A working fire was transmitted, and mutual aid requested including additional tower ladders to the scene. Firefighters made their way to the fire floor and using the building’s standpipe system had the main body of fire quickly knocked down. There were no serious injuries, and the cause of the fire is under investigation. Hempstead Chief of Department Joyce [80] had command of the incident. Text courtesy K2M Photography.
