Four people, including two children, were taken to Brookhaven Memorial Hospital Tuesday night after a fire erupted at an Italian ices shop in Shirley, fire officials said.
Mastic Fire Chief Rudy Sunderman said the injured were from a family who lived on the second floor, above Ralph’s Famous Italian Ices & Ice Cream. They were able to escape through a window, he said.
The extent of the injuries, and the exact ages of the victims, weren’t immediately known.
