Fire rips through Plumb Beach home

Plumb Beach became a plum spot for firefighters last week as four companies converged on the small beach front community to put out an all-hands fire.

FDNY officials said that they were called to a home on Plumb 1st Street near Whitney Place just minutes before 10 p.m. on November 4. The fire was put out within 45 minutes, according to officials.

Engine Companies 321 and 309 as well as Ladder Companies 159 and 153 were first to respond at the fire, which erupted on the building’s third floor.

No injuries were reported, save for one senior citizen who suffered some smoke inhalation, officials said.

The cause of the fire was still under investigation as this paper went to press.
