At 9:19 am the Islip Fire Department was dispatched to a report of a residential structure fire at the Fairfield Apartments 15 Willowbrook Avenue. Initial reports were coming in reporting smoke coming from the windows of one of the apartments. Chief Butler was the first to arrive who confirmed a heavy smoke condition on the second floor and was advised of possible occupants within. A Signal 35 (Working Fire) was then transmitted as well as a request for mutual aid assistance from the Bay Shore Fire Department, East Islip Fire Department and Exchange Ambulance of the Islips. Islip crews found fire in a second floor apartment which was quickly extinguished and contained to the 1 apartment. Searches were conducted of the fire apartment as well as all adjoining apartments and found to be negative for any trapped victims. One civilian was evaluated by EMS at the scene but refused hospital transport. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation by the Suffolk County Police Department Arson Squad and the Town of Islip Fire Marshal’s office.
