Firefighters from four fire departments were dispatched to the scene of a North Hills home fire on Thursday night.

Three Manhasset-Lakeville Fire companies responded to the 7:17 p.m. alarm of a smoke condition in the basement of the house at 32 Shelter Rock Road, Capt. Lee Genser said.

Genser said firefighters were able to locate the fire on the first floor of the home found, Genser said.

One additional company was requested to the scene after further assessment of the fire with one crew placed on alert, he said.

Genser said the fire was contained in a small area but the house suffered smoke and fire damage.

Crew members stayed on the scene for several hours due to the size of the home and heavy smoke condition venting high levels of carbon monoxide present in the home,he said.

Nassau County Fire Marshals are still investigating the cause of the unknown blaze, Genser said.
