Firefighters extinguish blaze at Lynbrook salon

Posted

Last Saturday, Lynbrook firefighters made a quick stop to a fire spreading up the wall of the LaBelle Unisex Salon at 99 Broadway.

Firefighters were called out at 11:30 a.m. When Assistant Chief William Abrams arrived on the scene, there was heavy smoke inside the storefront and flames were visible. Engine Company from nearby Carpenter Avenue was first on the scene, and dropped a hose line to the front door. Truck Company also arrived on the scene.

After first forcing the front door open, the fire, which was climbing up the wall and along the ceiling of the one-story storefront, was quickly extinguished. Truck Company then pulled the wall and ceiling area to make sure the fire was out.

The Nassau County Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the cause of the fire but it is not considered suspicious. There were no injuries. Firefighters were at the scene for about an hour.
