Levittown clothing store a 'total loss' after blaze, fire chief says

Fire wiped out a men's clothing store in Levittown Monday night, the Levittown Fire Department's chief said.

One firefighter was treated at Nassau University Medical Center for a shoulder injury. More than 150 firefighters fought the blaze at the Men's Designer Fashion Outlet, which is in a building at 3026 Hempstead Tpke.

The fire was reported at 5:17 p.m., after the store had closed, Chief Donald Epple of the Levittown Fire Department said.

"Flames were blowing out front windows of the store," Epple said. The fire was out at 7:30 p.m.

"It was just a big store," Epple said. "It took a while."

He described the damage as a "total loss."

The fire's cause was under investigation Monday night.
