One firefighter was hospitalized after being injured fighting an early-morning fire that damaged a line of stores on East Main Street in Smithtown on Wednesday, Suffolk County fire officials said.

It was not immediately clear what fire department the volunteer belonged to or how seriously he might have been injured.

Officials said the firefighter was transported to St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center in Smithtown.

There were no other injuries, police and fire officials said.

Jan. 03--A Byron firefighter injured in a house blaze Friday afternoon returned to active duty the same day, the fire chief says.

Steven Smith, 36, was treated and released from The Medical Center of Central Georgia, where he was taken after a garage ceiling beam broke off during the fire and knocked him to the ground, said Byron Fire Chief J.D. Mosby.

"Fortunately, it was a glancing blow," Mosby said.
