Plainview firefighters were called to battle a raging house fire Saturday night in Old Bethpage.
The fire erupted at 27 Adrienne Drive about 7:30 p.m. Saturday. When firefighters arrived the flames were visible through the roof of the structure.
Firefighters from Bethpage, Farmingdale and Hicksville were also called to the scene to assist.
Plainview firefighters have responded to more than 500 calls since Hurricane Sandy left much of Plainview without power and cluttered with dangerous live wires and downed trees.
