WOODMERE Fire Above, No Sweat
Story and Photo by Dominic Orlando - South Nassau Fire Photo
The Woodmere Fire Department makes no exceptions when it comes to late evening into early morning hour calls and this was proven true on the morning of January 14th. With a report of smoke in the house and a possible attic fire, the members of Woodmere in true fireman fashion responded and put a quick knock down on what could have easily been a tragic loss of a house. With the Chiefs arriving on scene after Nassau Police reported a smoke condition in the home, a small fire was discovered in the attic of a 1 story residential house on Hazel Dr. Woodmere members quickly stretched a line and got a team to the roof to check for extension. With the fire knocked down and minimal damage to the home, the members saved the structure from what could have easily grown into a fully involved house fire. The members of Woodmere acted and performed like true professionals and managed to resolve the incident without injury or issue.
