On
Labor Day, Sept. 6th, 2010, at about 6:10 PM, the Lynbrook Fire
Department, under the command of Chief Raymond Burke, responded to
the area along the LIRR tracks on Sunrise Highway between Ocean and
Rocklyn Avenues after a train conductor operating a westbound train
to Penn Station reported that he may have possibly struck a person
on the tracks. The train immediately stopped just before the
Rocklyn Ave. overpass. The Lynbrook Fire Department's Emergency
Medical Company's unit 425-A first responded as did Rescue, Hook,
Ladder, and Bucket Company's unit 427, as the bucket was needed to
move the medical technicians and firefighters up to the train and
over the overgrown embankment. Firefighters then searched around
and under the train for the possible victim after the power was
turned off. Also searching the area and the embankment were
members of the Lynbrook police, Rockville Centre police and the MTA
police. After searching for over an hour no evidence was found that
anyone was struck by the train. The power was turned back on the
train continued on its trip.
