No Injuries in East Northport House Fire

Five fire departments battle early afternoon blaze Tuesday.

A homeowner present at the time was uninjured in an early afternoon fire on 7th Ave. West off Elwood Road Tuesday, said East Northport Fire Department Chief Michael Tarantino.

The fire may have begun in an extension at the back of the house then spread up the wall and through the attic, resulting in a "significant" blaze that took five fire departments a half hour to extinguish, said Tarantino.

Commack, Greenlawn, Centerport and Northport Fire Departments assisted the East Northport Fire Department in putting out the blaze.
