PHOTO: Ronkonkoma FD Hard At Work

Photograph captured volunteer firefighters battling a tractor trailer fire on the LIE at Exit 60.

Gary Stadler captured this photograph of the Ronkonkoma Fire Department responding to a truck fire on the LIE in Ronkonkoma last week.

Volunteers rushed to the fire at about 2 p.m., according to a short report of the incident on the aggregate website Suburban Fire Marshal. When units arrived they found this tractor trailer buring on the eastbound lanes just past the Ronkonkoma Avenue overpass. Eastbound lanes were closed while the Ronkonkoma department battled the blaze.

The fire was extinguished and there were no injuries.

A zero budget is not even necessary for this tremendous problem. Even with the 3.14 budget, thisRead More scenario exists. The classes will be in the thirties next year in the secondary schools. I heard the classes will have at least 35 kids in them next year because of all of the teacher excessing. It would be even worse if there is a zero budget, but the problem already exists.

It's very possible Mark, and you're right, it's already a problem because of the cuts made to get toRead More this tax cap budget. It will be a complete disaster if the budget fails.

Wrong JP, people like Mrs. Kohlmann make this country and people like yourself just take. That'sRead More what is shameful!

My kids do not have Mr. Hinkaty, but I know his name well from many others. He is a favorite ofRead More many, many students. I hope for the sake of Sachem something changes over the summer and they can find a way to keep him here. Whatever district ends up with that teacher will find that they have struck gold. We wish you the best, Mr. Hinkaty. I hope we can keep you here!
