On Saturday, May 21^st, 2016, at approximately 12:18 a.m., Manhasset-Lakeville Fire Department Companies 1, 2, 3 and the Ambulance Unit were dispatched to 94 Bridge Road in Manhasset for a reported structure fire.  Chief of Department Kiess (8701) was the first unit to respond and was advised by M-LFD dispatch that he was receiving multiple calls for a fire in the rear of the house at 94 Bridge Road in Manhasset.  Chief Kiess arrived at the scene at transmitted a Signal 10 for a working fire, with a heavy volume of fire visible in the rear of the residence, on the second floor.
