Arson Suspected in truck fires at Andersons Tree Service

 August 1, 2016

At 5am on Monday, August 1st 2016 the Islip FD was dispatched to a report of a truck fire on Sunrise Highway at Peckham Ave. Units were notified that callers were reporting that multiple trucks were on fire at Anderson's Tree Service and that the building may also have been on fire. Chief Butler was the first to arrive who confirmed 4 actively burning trucks on the lot and that the fire was impinging on the structure. Engine 3-4-2 arrived stretching attack lines and began working to extinguish the fires. Engine 3-4-7 then arrived shortly after securing a fire hydrant and assisted the first engines crew with fire control. The fires were extinguished with only minor damage to the building however the 4 trucks were destroyed by the fire. The fire was suspicious in nature and believed to be intentionally set. For that reason the scene was turned over to the Suffolk County Police Arson Squad to investigate. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the Suffolk Police Arson Squad at 631-852-6150. [Photos by Ex-Chief Richard Ackerson]

At 11:02 AM the Islip Fire Department responded to a report of a kitchen fire in a home on Brook Street off Saint Louis Avenue. Upon arrival of Chief of Department Pfuhl it was noted that smoke was visible coming from the attic vent and eves on the exposure 4 side of the home. Islip crews entered the home and found fire in the walls of the kitchen on the second floor with extension into the attic. The alarm was then upgraded to a working structure fire. The fire was quickly knocked down and contained to that immediate area. All the occupants of the home safely evacuated prior to arrival and there were no injuries. Mutual aid assistance was provided by the Bay Shore Fire Department, East Islip Fire Department, and the Exchange Ambulance of the Islips. The cause of the fire is believed to be electrical in nature and thus deemed accidental. ... See MoreSee Less

I find this video awesome and should be shown to the citizens of Islip. If you are not involved with the fire service you have no idea what your volunteers do for you. I am a retired call center Chief dispatcher. My Dad was Chief in North Babylon and my late husband was Chief and Commissioner in Deer Park. THANK YOU for your service.

Shortly before 7:30 PM this evening the Islip Fire Department was alerted on a mutual aid to the East Islip Fire Department for a working residential structure fire on Keswick Drive off Alan St for 1 engine to the scene. East Islip crews were met with an apparent electrical fire which began in the basement and traveled through the walls on the first and second floors and into the attic. Engine 3-4-1, along with chiefs 3-4-31 and 3-4-32 responded and assisted as a truck crew at the scene. The crews from East Islip and the surrounding mutual aid companies contained the fire to a void space in the walls and stopped it from extending any further through the home. ... See MoreSee Less
