On July 30, 2019, at approximately 7:30 PM, the Lynbrook Fire Department under the command of Chief Nick Pearsall responded to a reported house fire at 99 Smith Street opposite Summit Avenue.  Chief Pearsall was first on the scene and with Lynbrook police officers escorted the homeowner from the house when he was found inside.  Chief Pearsall went up to the second floor and found a heavy smoke condition and a wall in the kitchen on fire.  He immediately broadcast a Signal 10 to FIRECOM and used a water can to knock down some of the fire.  Firefighters were at this same house for a similar fire in the same kitchen about six weeks ago.  Hose Company was the first engine to arrive and took the hydrant across the street.  Hose members stretched a line and took it to the second floor and quickly extinguished the fire containing the damage to the kitchen wall and nearby pantry area.  A second line was stretched but not used.  Truck Company laddered the building.  The Fire Marshal's Office was called to conduct an investigation of the cause of the fire.  Additionally, the Village of Lynbrook' Building Superintendent was also on scene.  The homeowner was attended to by North Shore Hospital paramedics.
