A fire in a Garden City Park warehouse Thursday night halted Long Island Railroad service along the Port Jefferson line in both directions for about three hours, Nassau County Police said.
The fire broke out at 194 Atlantic Avenue around 8 p.m. Thursday and was put out just after 11 p.m. Train service was restored shortly thereafter, officials said.
The building was unoccupied at the time of the fire, said James Hickman, division supervisor for the Nassau County Fire Marshal’s Office. About a third of the building retained damage, he said.
“Thankfully, no one was hurt,” Hickman said.
The cause of the fire has yet to be determined, police said. An investigation is ongoing.
Approximately 100 firefighters from multiple departments, including Floral Park, Mineola, New Hyde Park and Garden City Park responded to the fire, officials said.
