Three people, including a volunteer firefighter, suffered minor injuries Tuesday night during a raging house fire in Wantagh.
The flames broke out at a home on Dell Lane around 11 p.m. while a family of four was still inside.
Two members of the family were taken to the hospital. They are expected to be OK.
About 100 firefighters and medics responded to the fire and worked to keep it from spreading to neighboring homes.
Officials say a Wantagh firefighter tripped over equipment on the front lawn, injuring his knee. He’s expected to be OK.
The fire marshal and arson investigators are probing the cause of the fire.
