Levittown (11756), in central Nassau County, borders or sits near Hicksville, Wantagh and East Meadow. Levittown is the community where Nassau County's post-war housing boom began, with construction starting in 1947, so many of its homes share the same era of plumbing and electrical systems.
With so many houses from one building era, the same kinds of aging-system problems repeat from block to block in Levittown. Older oil and gas heating equipment is still common, and a furnace malfunction can push soot through the ducts of the whole house. Original wiring and electrical panels in many Levittown homes were sized for mid-century appliance loads, which can strain today's circuits. Closely spaced houses mean crews pay attention to shared-wall and adjacent-property concerns when securing a fire-damaged home.
In practice, crews in Levittown handle board-up, soot and odor removal, and drying of any firefighting water in one coordinated effort.
