Home Lost To Fire During Sandy Rises Again

New home rises from the charred remains of a property completely lost during the hurricane.

A Babylon Village home lost during the height of Hurricane Sandy to a fire is nearing the completed stages of being rebuilt.

The home, located at 406 Little East Neck Road South, went ablaze as firefighters from Babylon Fire Department fought against 4 feet of water. The fire eventually spread to homes on either side, claiming the home south of it.

The new home is raised nearly five feet off the ground, enough height in case of another Sandy.

There was no word whether the home would be occupied by the family that previously lived there or put up for sale.
