Fire engulfs Farmingdale home, officials say

Firefighters battled an early afternoon fire that engulfed the front of a white three-story house in Farmindale on Prospect Street at the Weiden Street intersection, the police said on Thursday.

A News 12 video showed he home’s entry way and the facade of the first two stories on fire despite the water being poured on them.

The Farmingdale, Plainview and Bethpage fire departments later extinguished the fire, a Nassau police spokesman said.

A Fire Department official was not immediately available to comment.
