Long-time NBA, Knicks' Broadcaster Mike Breen and Family Lose Home to Fire

A story from The New York Post appeared yesterday morning, sharing the details of a tragic night at the home of Mike Breen and his family. It was reported that a massive house fire had destroyed Breen's home, which is located in the area of Manhasset on Long Island.

The Manhasset-Lakeville Fire Department posted the following video following their fire fight:

The local fire department responded to a call just after 4AM on Sunday, September 25th, and worked to control the blaze. By then, however, it was far too late, and the fire ended up taking the entire home.

Thankfully, no one was in the home at the time, and no one was injured as a result of the blaze. While we're all thankful for this news, our hearts still go out to the entire Breen family at this time. Though no one was hurt, they lost their entire home, and everything in it.
