The Hicksville Fire Department was alerted by Nassau County Firecom for a house fire with possible people trapped on Ninth Street about 06:10 on December 21, 2023. First arriving units encountered a fully involved house. Information about the house was there was a heavy clutter condition throughout. Engine 937 was First Due and had a hydrant before the house. Bethpage Ladder 4 was the first Ladder on scene and set up in front of the house. As crews advanced lines into the house to begin extinguishing the fire and begin searches, a deceased person was found on the first floor. Due to deteriorating conditions and previous damage from a fire in June of this year, Chief of Department Moskos had all members evacuate the house and went to an exterior operation. With numerous hand lines and the master stream from Plainview Ladder 9533 the bulk of the fire was knocked down before members reentered the house. The fire was knocked down within an hour although units were on scene several hours doing overhaul through the cluttered conditions. There were no other injuries and the cause of the fire is under investigation. Chief of Department Moskos was in charge of the scene. Mutual aid to the scene was provided by the Bethpage, Westbury, Plainview and Levittown Fire Departments. (Text Credit Zone 2 Photo).
