EHFD Responds to Car Fire

The East Hampton Fire Department was called to a motor vehicle accident with the car “fully engulfed in fire” on Northwest Road just south of Alewive Brook Road at 12:23 a.m. on Monday, September 19. Upon arrival, first responding units found a compact car in flames, but without an occupant, next to where it had crashed into a tree near an S-turn in the road. The driver was eventually located a little farther down the road from the vehicle, and was treated by members of the East Hampton Volunteer Ambulance Association for his injuries while the fire was extinguished. East Hampton Town Police Department officers were also on scene to investigate the cause of the accident.
