2000 hours. The Central Islip Fire Department is called to respond to a report of a building fire on Hoppen Drive off Carleton Avenue. Arriving units observed flames coming from the roof of the building. Members worked their way to the roof while mutual aid was requested for ladders from Hauppauge and Islip Terrace. Crews extinguished a fire in a rooftop storage room. The fire was placed under control within 30 minutes. Brentwood and East Islip FD's sent units to the scene and to cover.
