The Massapequa Fire Department was called to a house fire on Division Avenue about 1740 on December15, 2022. Second Assistant Chief Friedland was the first to respond and was advised while en route that Nassau County Police were on scene confirming a working fire. With that information, Chief Friedland arrived to fire on the first floorof a two-story home. The fire was originally located in an added-on apartment to the home but had extended to the second floor. Engine crews stretched and operated three handlines to knock down the fire in about 40 minutes. All searches of the home were negative, and there were no reported injuries. Mutual aid came from Seaford, Wantagh, Amityville and Bellmore. Levittown, Bethpage and North Massapequa stood by for Massapequa. - Fire News photos by Paul Mazza
