The Smithtown Fire Department was toned out for a Signal 13 [Automatic Alarm – Smoke Detector] on Tuesday, August 24th, at 3:11am with the
location of 38 Sterling Lane. Assistant Chief Patrick Diecidue [4-2-33]
arrived on scene observing heavy smoke coming from the residence
and quickly upgraded the call to a Signal 13-35 [working structure fire].
With the possibility of residents in the home, the chief, along with other
first responders, took out the front door and immediately proceeded
with a primary search. They rapidly removed a three-year-old girl from
a bedroom and brought her out for medical attention. Additional arriving units continued the search and found a mother and her 3-monthold son on the bathroom floor. They were removed from the structure,
suffering smoke inhalation and in cardiac arrest. While the smoke was
heavy, the fire load was limited and quickly brought under control.
