From news12.com

04/20/06) DEER PARK – About 400 firefighters are at the scene of two separate brush fires in Deer Park and Brentwood, near the Deer Park train station.
About 25 fire departments have responded to the scene. Most of the fire is located in a 25-30 acre section of the Edgewood Oak Brush Preserve. Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy says one firefighter has been injured. The flames in Deer Park have jumped over Long Island Avenue. LIPA has cut off electricity in the area due to the proximity of power lines to the fire. Residents at 200 homes in eastern Deer Park have been told to shut of their electricity due to brush fires. Suffolk County police are evacuating personnel from some nearby businesses.

Witnesses are reporting massive amounts of smoke blanketing nearby neighborhoods. News 12 Long Island’s Bill Korbel reports the smoke is visible on weather radar. Sagtikos Parkway is currently closed in both directions at Pine Aire Drive. In addition, Pine Aire Drive is closed both ways between Long Island Ave. and Sagtikos Parkway. No LIRR trains are running east of Farmingdale but buses will be provided. Also, service to Farmingdale is limited.

My FH is out there fighting this fire please pray for him

My parents house, my grandparents house, my aunts house and tons of my friends house are all in that area. It's right on the Commack line.

We are so nervous...and our pets are home!

I saw that too when I was coming back from my lunch break at 2pm. It looked horrible!!!

Thanks for posting about the Sagtikos being closed. That's usually how I go home.

Any disruptions on the LIE at that location?

I wil pray for your FH who's fighting that fire!!!!
