Firefighters Battle Muttontown 'Mansion' Blaze: Reports

MUTTONTOWN, NY — Firefighters from 11 Nassau County fire departments battled a blaze at what fire officials called a "mansion" in Muttontown on Tuesday morning, multiple outlets reported.

The fire began at the estate on Northern Boulevard, was reported via 911 call at 10:18 a.m., and was accidental and electrical in nature, Newsday reported.

The fire started in the attic, the fire marshal told News 12 Long Island.

East Norwich Fire Department First Deputy Chief Griffin Rosen directed between 100 and 120 firefighters and saved the estate, but not before the roof partially collapsed, Newsday reports.

NBC New York reported that while fire officials referred to the building as a "mansion," it appeared to be smaller based on footage. Firefighters told NBC flames were shooting through the roof, they dealt with heavy smoke and it took about an hour to get the fire under control.

Fire officials told News 12 Long Island more than half the home suffered serious damage.

Nassau County Assistant Chief Fire Marshal Michael Uttaro told Newsday no civilians or firefighters were injured.

Per Newsday, responding fire departments include East Norwich, Syosset, Oyster Bay, Bayville, Glen Cove, Sea Cliff, Locust Valley, Glenwood, Westbury, Jericho and Port Washington.

Northern Boulevard between Mill River Road and Ripley Lane was closed for a few hours due to the fire.
