On Thursday evening, April 27, 2006, just before 10 PM, the volunteers of the Lynbrook Fire Department, under the command of Fire Chief Keith Festa, responded to a house fire at 187 Vincent Avenue, just off Merrick Road.  The first arriving fire companies dropped two lines and quickly extinguished the fire in a kitchen on the second floor.   Damaged was placed at only a few thousand dollars.  The volunteers were at the scene for almost an hour.  There were no reported injuries.  Cause of the fire is undetermined at this time.
