Three people have now been confirmed dead in a Long Island house fire.
At least 12 fire departments responded to the fire that was called in by a bypasser who alerted officials that people were trapped in the home.
The fire broke out at 5:38 a.m., and by the time fire officials arrived the home was fully involved, Nassau County Assistant Chief Fire Marshal Michael F. Uttaro said. It s a tragic fire, Uttaro said. And a good reason to make sure that you have working fire detectors.
Uttaro said it took the better part of two hours to get the blaze under control.
