Fire in Lynbrook

I was going to work this morning, and I passed by Griece park. I noticed across the street to the park, on the corner...The white old Victorian that I pass every morning....burnt down. It was a white house...that was probably built in the early 1900's. I dont know when the fire occured, but I do know it had to be some time in the past 2 days. I passed this house the other day and it was fine.

The entire roof is gone on the house, and you can tell that the fire was really bad. I searched the web but I cannot find any info on the fire.

The reason I am so interested is that my friend used to live there around 16 years ago. He doesnt live there anymore though. I hope the people that lived there are ok.

Re: Fire in Lynbrook

I passed by last night. I usually take that road to cut through from Merrick to Sunrise. There were so many fire engines there. Theres a fire house right there if my memory serves me correctly.

Re: Fire in Lynbrook

I actually just passed by the fire a little while ago. A friend of mine lives a few houses away and informed me that everyone got out of the house safely but that a cat was caught in the fire. They aren't positive of the cause of the fire, but suspect is started in the basement. From what I hear, it was pretty bad.....

Re: Fire in Lynbrook

They had to chainsaw the roof off in order to prevent the fire from bursting out of the sides of the house!!
