MASTIC, NY - On Friday, February 25th at approximately 2:00 P.M., the Mastic FD was activated for reported trailers on fire on the Sunrise Service Road, between Stuyvesant Ave. and Barnes Drive.
Chief Rudy Sunderman (5-12-30) was first on the road and was advised by fire-com that there was already two calls on the fire. On arrival, Chief Sunderman had fire showing from a storage trailer and smoke pouring out of another and radioed back to fire-com asking for additional engines from Manorville FD and Center Moriches FD.
Chief Sunderman ordered the first due engine (5-12-1) to hit the hydrant, lay into the dirt road and pull one attack when on scene. Firefighters quickly went to work and stopped the fire from spreading to other nearby storage trailers. Crews from the Manorville and Center Moriches Fire Departments assisted with putting the fire out and conducting overhaul.
The fire was brought under control within 30 minutes of activation. A Suffolk County Fire Marshal was requested to respond to the scene, which was then handed off to the Suffolk County Police Arson Squad. All units were back in service shortly after. The cause of the fire is unknown at this time.
