Insulation Burns

Story & Photos by Ex-Captain & Honorary Chief Steve Grogan

 

Lynbrook firefighters under the command of Chief Nick Pearsall responded to a reported "rubbish fire" in the lumber yard at 120 Whitehall Street opposite Horton Avenue on October 30, 2019, shortly after 5 PM.  In the lumber yard were stacks of hard-foamed sheets of insulation.  The fire was in the middle of the pile and allegedly reaching over ten feet in the air.  The fire was first knocked down by employees of the lumber yard but firefighters from Tally-Ho, who arrived first on the scene, took the hydrant on the corner, and stretched a hose line into the yard and wet down the remaining stacks of insulation. Truck Company assisted with the overhaul and movement of the piles of insulation.  Firefighters were on the scene for about 30 minutes.
