A fire broke out in a freight elevator at the Macys department store in Manhasset on Sunday morning.
Several Manhasset-Lakeville Fire Department companies as well as the Port Washington Fire Department’s FAST rescue and rehabilitation unit and Nassau County Police were dispatched to the site around 10:30 a.m. and discovered the fire and smoke throughout the building.
Only Macys employees were in the store at the time of the fire. No injuries were reported.
The cause of the fire is being investigated by the Nassau County Fire Marshals office.
Manhasset-Lakeville officials said they were able to contain the fire using the building’s sprinkler system.
Fire teams then sought to ventilate the building of smoke and carbon monoxide.
