Now I am not even going to pretend about knowing anything about fighting fires…..but if you have to put out a fire to GET to the fire…that can’t be good.

5-7-32 at Sportsman Kennel. 5-16-32 in route to assist.

5-16-32 directing units past a horse farm to the fire line.

My brother recently transferred off Ocean Beach. He is either with Centereach or Middle Island. Middle Island just made it through and hooked up with three other brush trucks.

East Quogue boys now on scene.

Manorville Church might be a second command post. Units now staging there too.

KEG977 reports 3 brush trucks in trouble. Help being coordinated by Brookhaven Fire Marshall 5-40-0

Do the math: 109 + 15 = 124 departments. At 1 engine per department x 5 men per truck = 620 firefighters minimum.

Northeast corner of Riverhead being evacuated.
