VIDEO: Firefighters Battle Huntington House Fire During Thunderstorm

A fire broke out in a Huntington home Monday afternoon as heavy thunderstorms swept through the area, according to fire officials.

Huntington Fire Department volunteers responded to the two-story Prime Avenue home, opposite Heckscher Park, to find an active fire in the attic at 4:30 p.m., fire officials say.

Firefighters stretched a hose line to the attic and one to the front door to battle the blaze, and a ladder was sent to the roof to vent the fire.

About 60 firefighters and EMS personnel were on the scene with nine trucks to help extinguish the fire. No injuries were reported from the blaze, and the cause of the fire is under investigation by the Suffolk Police Arson Squad and Huntington Fire Marshal.

Units were under the command of second deputy chief Brian Keane, with operations handled by Third Deputy Chief Scott Dodge. The Halesite, Huntington Manor and Cold Spring Harbor fire departments were also at the scene to provide assistance.
