Mineola Volunteer Fire Department Has a Busy New Year
On New Year's Day at 11:59 a.m., the Mineola Fire Department was dispatched to a report of a fire in the second floor apartment of 158 Jefferson Avenue. The members of Engine Company One rapidly connected to a fire hydrant and stretched a hoseline to the rear entrance of the house where the staircase was located. Firefighter Tommy Clingo advanced the nozzle into the kitchen and extinguished the fire, which had originated in a garbage can. Firefighters Rob Connolly and Steve Hopkins searched the apartment with the assistance of the thermal imaging camera, for any fire extension. The fire was contained to the kitchen and most of the damage to the house was caused from smoke. Make sure that when you discard cigarettes, matches, etc, that they are fully extinguished before you place them in a garbage can to prevent a fire such as this one.
