Levittown House Fire: Marshal Determines Cause Of Blaze

LEVITTOWN, NY — A Levittown house fire Friday has been determined to be caused by an electrical problem, fire officials said. The blaze ignited around 8:30 p.m. Friday near Club Lane and Haven Lane, the Wantagh Fire Department said.

Smoke could be seen billowing out of a closet, and firefighters reported seeing heavy smoke in the home. As more firefighters arrived, the heavy smoke appeared to worsen with the fire seemingly in the walls, the department wrote in a Facebook post. Firefighters thought the blaze could be spreading to the second floor of the home and asked for additional units and resources from neighboring departments.

A fire hose was stretched to the first floor of the house and a second was stretched to the front door.

Firefighters knocked down the main portion of the fire in about 2o minutes. Units remained at the home for about 90 minutes.

The Nassau County Fire Marshal determined the blaze was an electrical fire. No injuries were reported.
