2 Firefighters Treated After Battling Northport Fire

Two firefighters were treated and evaluated by medical personnel after they battled a blaze at a Northport home on Saturday night.

Firefighters responded to the unoccupied Mariners Lane home to discover a basement fire at 10:25 p.m., according to the Northport Volunteer Fire Department on Facebook.

The fire from the basement quickly traveled to the upper floors through unobstructed spaces in the walls due to the home's "balloon frame" construction, fire officials say.

About 52 firefighters from the Northport Fire Department responded to the home and had the blaze under control and completely extinguished by 11:24 p.m.

One firefighter was transported to Huntington Hospital for evaluation and another was treated at the scene for a minor injury, fire officials say.

Firefighters were at the scene with four engines, one ladder truck, one heavy rescue truck, two ambulances and two utility vehicles. All units were under the direction of Chief Brad Wine and Second Assistant Chief Dennis Sheridan. Mutual Aid was requested provided by East Northport, Centerport, Greenlawn and King’s Park fire departments.

Suffolk County Police Arson Investigators were called to the scene. They do not suspect any foul play.
