At approximately 6:27 PM on Wednesday evening, the volunteers of the Greenlawn Fire Department were activated for a reported motor vehicle accident involving an electric vehicle.
Headquarters Engine 2-7-7, led by Engine Company Captain Nick D’Amico, quickly responded. While en route, Suffolk County FRES updated the assignment, advising of a fully involved auto.
Upon the arrival of Engine 2-7-7, crews were met with two fully involved vehicles with a third vehicle threatened by heat exposure. The crew from 2-7-7 stretched two handlines, secured a hydrant, and had water on the fire in under one minute.
Headquarters Engine 2-7-6 arrived second due and assisted with opening up the vehicles, while Station 1 Engine 2-7-8 assisted with overhaul and foam operations due to a ruptured fuel tank on one of the vehicles, which posed a hazard for further fire spread.
Units operated on scene for approximately one and a half hours under the command of 1st Assistant Chief Richard Jones. The scene was later turned over to the Suffolk County Police Department and the Town of Huntington Fire Marshal’s Office.

I lived in Elwood growing up and my family is still there. The street where the fire was is around the corner from our family home. These fire fighters were there when our home burned down eight years ago. I’m glad there were no injuries. Thank you Greenlawn Fire Department for protecting our community.
Thank goodness no one was hurt. Thank you to all of the responders and volunteers!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to these brave men and women who saved my cat and kept everyone safe and offered support to all. You are heroes and I am forever grateful to each and every one of you.
