Smithtown FD-BBQ fire extends to house

May 31, 2022. 1900 hours. The Smithtown Fire Department is dispatched to 43 Villa Lane in the Morewood Section in regard to a BBQ on fire. Firefighters arrive to find that the residents of the house had lit their propane fueled BBQ, which malfunctioned, with the resulting fire burning the siding on the rear of the house. The fire was extinguished but the propane tank was leaking and could not be shut down. Firefighters removed the tank from the BBA and began cooling it down. The Town of Smithtown Fire Marshals Office was called for their propane burn off kit but by the time they arrived, what little fuel was left had leaked out. The tank was rendered safe and removed from the scene by the Fire Marshals.
