On the afternoon of Saturday May 28th 2016 the Islip FD was notified for a report of a box truck on fire to the rear of Shop Rite 1905 Westbound Sunrise Hwy. Chief Butler immediately responded and notified Islip dispatch to notify the Bay Shore Fire Department as the incident sounded to be within their district. The BSFD was activated and first to arrive was Chief Ippolito of the Bay Shore FD who confirmed an involved box truck fire. Engines 3-4-1 and 3-4-7 arrived and stretched 2 booster lines to knock the fire down. Islip and Bay Shore crews then worked on the overhaul of the truck and its contents. There were no injuries at the scene. Islip units operated under the direction of 1st Asst Chief Thomas Butler Sr.
