Road in the Village of Thomaston, just blocks away from
the Company #3 firehouse.

(C8702) and Deputy Chief Dugger (DC8703), were advised
by dispatch that they were notified by Nassau County FireCom
of a severe burn victim on the scene and that they were
adding the Ambulance Unit was being added to the original
alarm.
Engine 8735 was the first piece of apparatus to respond
to the alarm and on their arrival transmitted the Signal

Company #1 was added to the alarm and Companies #4 and

The Great Neck Vigilant Fire Company was called to the
scene for a F.A.S.T. Team and responded with Ladder 8312,

investigation due to the burn victim and suspicious nature
of the fire. |
