Ronkonkoma, NY - Early on the morning of September 4th, at 1:30 A.M., Ronkonkoma Fire Department was alerted to a house fire at 90 Dorchester Road with initial reports of a 30-year-old male trapped inside the basement.
The two-story home was found fully involved upon the arrival of the first chief from Ronkonkoma FD. Firefighters had difficulty making entry into the house due to the heavy fire conditions. Assistance was requested from the Lakeland, Nesconset, St. James, Centereach, Holbrook and Farmingville Fire Departments.
According to Suffolk County Police, the homeowner suffered minor injuries and was transported to Stony Brook University Hospital for treatment. After conducting numerous searches inside the home, which included the use of cadaver dogs, it was determined that the person reported as trapped in the basement (the homeowner's son), was not in the house at the time of the fire.
The Fire Marshal was requested to the scene along with the Suffolk County Arson Squad to conduct a fire investigation.
