At approximately 4:55 AM on the morning of Thursday, January 10,
2013, a fully-loaded gasoline tanker traveling east on Burnside
Avenue overturned at it turned north onto Route 878 heading for
Peninsula Blvd. The intersection is on the border of Inwood and the
Lawrence-Cedarhurst Fire Departments. Both departments responded
with a full department response. At 5:55 AM, the Lynbrook Fire
Department was called to respond to the scene with one pumper.
Tally-Ho Engine 3 responded and staged on Route 878. Tally-Ho
members assisted in foam operations and also created dikes to
control the flow of gasoline. Tally-Ho was at the scene till 3:30
PM when it was released by Hose Company who came to the scene for
another hour and one half. Lynbrook was one of approximately 15
departments that were at the scene or stood-by at firehouses to
cover alarms for Inwood and LC. |
