A fire broke out at the Nassau County Police Department’s 2nd Precinct building on Media Crossways in Woodbury Saturday night.

Flames and smoke shot out of the windows and doors after 10 p.m. It took the Syosset Fire Department and six other departments a half-hour to put out the fire.

Six police officers were inside the building when the fire broke out. They were treated for smoke inhalation.

The fire marshal says the fire started in the kitchen area. The cause is still under investigation.

Nassau police say the building is a loss, but officers will continue to working out of the 8th Precinct building in Bethpage.
