An early morning house fire displaced four New Cassel residents and sent one of them to the hospital for treatment of a burn injury, Nassau fire officials said.
About 1:53 a.m. Tuesday, the Westbury Fire Department responded to a fire at a two-story Oliver Avenue home, according to a news release from Capt. Michael Mennella with the Nassau County Fire Marshal’s Office.
All occupants escaped the home, but one suffered "burns to the foot," Mennella told Newsday via email. The injury was considered minor, and the resident was transported to Nassau University Medical Center in East Meadow. There were no updates on the person's condition Tuesday afternoon.
The fire caused "significant" damage to the residence, Mennella said. The American Red Cross was deployed to help the four adult occupants who were displaced.
Around 75 firefighters, including those from departments in Carle Place, East Meadow, East Williston, Garden City, Hicksville, Jericho and Mineola, brought the fire under control in about one hour, according to the release.
