York Village Fire was dispatched to 16 long Sands Rd.  For an odor investigation . C-1  and Squad 2 were on scene in minutes. The next report was from C-1 advising that they had smoke in the building and all hands were working. Any volunteer who had sat out the initial call was now up and running towards the scene. Shortly thereafter, he advised that he believed that they had a fire in the second floor ceiling and a full 1st alarm working fire was struck. Engine 4 arrived on scene and took a hydrant at the monument in the center of town. They were able to hand lay 100′ of 4″ hose into Squad 2 leaving E4 out of the loop and thus in service for another run. Truck 8 arrived and was assigned to take the “Delta” side of the building and throw the stick to the roof.  Engine 1 from York Beach arrived on scene and staged their rig, the 6 personnel from York Beach were divided up amongst various functions. Interior crews searched for fire with a smoke condition that didn’t seem to get any better. A portion of the ceiling was opened up to check void spaces and for possible fire extension, before the fire was located high on a shelf near the ceiling of the laundry closet. It was quickly extinguished, the building was ventilated and salvage operations commenced. Crews were released from the scene and York Village firefighters returned to the firehouse to put equipment back in service. Kittery Point Engine 5 covered the station and briefly assisted at the scene. While Ogunquit Engine 31 covered in York Beach. There were no civilian or firefighter injuries.
