"Conditions are causing a weaking of the roofing system," said Keane who was requesting for an inspection of the entire mall roof. Mulitple fire dpeartments were on the scene including Nesconset, Stony Brook, St. James, Hauppauge and Commack. Mall employees were seen carrying bucket loads of water out of Lifestye Wing entrance and dumping them outside.
