4 Clover Lane, New Cassel - Just Before 5:30pm, the Westbury Fire Department was dispatched to this scene after receiving multiple calls for a house on fire. First arriving unit [NCPD EAB Car 2341] confirmed the telephone reports, and stated he had heavy fire conditions on the second floor in the Rear. Chief of Department Doug Ingram [9601] arrived soon thereafter and transmitted the ‘Working Fire’. Engine-966 and Ladder-963 were fist due, but F.A.S.T. Truck 931 from Hicksville took the front of the address. Firefighters made an aggressive attack and quickly doused the fire, but the damage had already been done, and the overhaul was extensive. The American Red Cross was requested to respond for 3 adults and 1 juvenile that were displaced from their home. The Nassau county Fire Marshal’s Office was on scene working to determine the cause of the blaze. One firefighter was evaluated for burns to the arm.
