| On Tuesday, November 15, 2005, at 7:45a.m., the Riverhead Fire Department received a report of a structure fire at the location of the Housing Complex Calverton Hills, Topping Drive and Hill Rise Street, Calverton, from the Manorville Volunteer Ambulance Corps.
Riverhead Fire Department's Chief Edward Carey, Second Assistant Chief George Woodson, and Third Assistant Chief Nick Luparella directed the operation of 40 to 45 firefighters, using two pumpers equipped with ladders, and two support trucks.
The fire was confined to the first and second floors of the residence. The fire was extinguished in about 30 minutes, perhaps due to the fire wall between every third apartment. No injuries reported.
Riverhead Fire Department's Chief Edward Carey expressed the Department's thanks to the Flanders Fire Department, Flanders Volunteer Ambulance Corps, and Riverhead Volunteer Ambulance Corps for standing by.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Brookhaven Town Fire Marshal. |
