Morning car fire extinguished in Lynbrook

Lynbrook Fire Department firefighters, under the command of Chief Chris Kelly, extinguished a car fire at Hempstead Ave. and Central Ave. just before 5 a.m. Nov. 30. Firefighters found a fire underneath and inside the back area of a vehicle in the driveway of the home behind the storefronts at that intersection. 

Second Assistant Chief Scott Bien was also on scene. Engine Company One and Tally-Ho Engine three and Truck Company responded. Engine Company was first on the scene and backed into the street. One hose line was used to knock down the fire. Truck Company members overhauled and opened up the trunk of the vehicle. Tally-Ho members assisted and stood by. Firefighters were at the scene for just over a half-hour. It is believed the fire was caused by an electrical issue.
