Fire Breaks Out At Dune Road Home: Officials

WESTHAMPTON, NY — A fire broke out at a home on Dune Road Saturday night, officials said.

According to the Westhampton Beach Fire Department, a call came in for an automatic alarm at an oceanfront residence at 8:15 p.m.

Third Assistant Chief Larry Saccente was first on the scene and smelled smoke
while doing his size up; upon gaining entry he discovered smoke throughout the unoccupied home, the Westhampton Beach Fire Department said in a release.

Fire was found in a utility room and quickly extinguished with a water can; the firefighters then brought in a hose line and searched for hidden fire, officials said. They opened up the floors and the walls of the utility room and a bedroom to expose some hidden fire, which
received a "generous dousing," the Westhampton Beach Fire Department said.

The department responded with two engines, a ladder truck, and a fire police vehicle; Southampton Town and Westhampton Beach Village police were also at the scene, officials said.

No injuries were reported and the fire marshal is still investigating, official said.

Westhampton Beach Fire Department volunteers were also called to a shed fire on Jagger Lane after midnight Saturday in Westhampton, officials said.
