OVERNIGHT BAR FIRE

The Smithtown Fire Department was toned out for a signal 13 (Structural Fire) at 02:32 (2:32am) on January 4, 2012 with the location of 43 East Main Street. The call was quickly upgraded to a signal 13-35 (Working Structural Fire).

Upon arrival units were confronted with a store fire in the old Molly Bloom’s bar now known as the Artful Dodger. Flames were emanating from the roof of the Artful Dodger and the adjacent hair salon.

A search was conducted for any possible residents in or around the building.

Units on scene attacked the fire from the ground and with a tower ladder. At 03:00 (3:00pm) visible fire was knocked down (extinguished) and overhaul of the building began to look for fire extension.

The fire appeared to be electrical in nature and started above the front doors of the business.

Units on scene were Chief’s 4-2-30 (Hansen), 4-2-31 (Sisino), 4-2-32 (Murphy)Engines 4-2-2, 4-2-3, 4-2-4, Ladder 4-2-7, Rescue 4-2-9, Ambulance 4-2-61 and equipment from Nesconset, Hauppauge, St. James, Kings Park  and Commack.Click here for Smithtown Fire Department
