Carle Place, NY - January 10, 2015 - Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano (4th left) officially thanked Ambulance Medical Technician (AMT) Joseph Biundo who successfully evacuated the Dunkin’ Donuts in Carle Place before anyone was injured. Biundo, who has worked as an AMT for 15 years had purchased a carbon monoxide detector with his own funds to wear on duty. Upon entering the store on Glen Cove Road his device started to beep and flash, indicating the carbon monoxide levels had hit a potentially deadly level. Mr. Biundo evacuated the store and called dispatch, who summoned the Carle Place Fire Department. Firefighters ventilated the store and determined the high levels of carbon monoxide were due to a faulty oven pipe.
