Excerpt from video description on YouTube:
Engine Company 421 was first on the scene, followed by Tally-Ho 423, and Truck Company’s 428. Engine Company took their first line to the front of the buses to cool the exposure and begin the attack of the intense fire consuming the buses. Two of the buses were totally engulfed while the third bus was also burning. A second and a third hose line was taken from Engine 421 by members of that company and Tally-Ho.
The Malverne School District lost three new school buses and the use of its portable classrooms on Sunday morning after a fire broke out and engulfed the recently purchased buses, which were in the parking lot of the Davison Avenue Intermediate School in Lynbrook.
Firefighters arrived at the school, at 49 Davison Ave., at 4:17 a.m. to find two buses in flames and third beginning to burn. Nearby portable classrooms, used for music classes, sustained heavy exterior damage and interior smoke damage, according to Superintendent Dr. James Hunderfund.
