First responders from the North Amityville Fire Co. Inc. were dispatched to a Ronek Drive home at approximately 9 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 19, when a fire was reported at an area home.

Crews were able to knock down the flames, but a 4-year-old boy was airlifted to Stony Brook University Hospital, and a 51-year-old woman was taken to Nassau University Medical Center for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

The two reportedly suffered third-degree burns on their legs. A third person in the home was uninjured.

The basement suffered extensive damage, but crews were able to contain the blaze. It is unclear how the fire started, which is being investigated by the Arson Squad.
