Truck Erupts In Flames, Spreads To Bethpage FedEx Building

BETHPAGE, NY — Fire spread to the FedEx Ground building in Bethpage on Wednesday after a repair truck next to the warehouse went up in flames, according to the Bethpage Fire Department.

Firefighters received a call for a truck fire at the FedEx building, at 160 Grumman Road West, at 7:41 a.m. Smoke could be seen in the distance as firefighters responded, and callers told the fire department the fire got into the warehouse. Firefighters found a flame-engulfed repair truck up against the building's garage doors with multiple explosions coming from it.

The fire was extinguished, and the steel doors stopped the fire from extending into the building. However, the warehouse was filled with smoke, and there was some damage to the building. The repair truck and everything inside was destroyed.

No injuries were reported, and the Nassau County Fire Marshals Hazardous Materials unit was also on scene.
