With Suffolk County Police on the scene, they requested a rush on the fire department. Upon the arrival of Engine 1-3-10, they stretched their bumper line, as well as their rear booster line, to start a fire attack on the auto fire. Rescue 1-3-3 opened the auto and then forced entry into the one-story commercial to check for any extension. With none found, crews opened up the soffit on the exterior and wet it down. Upon request of the Chief of Dept., PSEG and Natural Grid were requested to service the damages. There were no reported injuries. Units operated under the command of Chief of Copiague Fire Department, Kyle Miller (1-3-30).
