UPDATE: House Fire Quelled by Firefighters

A fire broke out at a Shipyard Lane home early Monday afternoon and was under control in 45 minutes; no injuries were reported.

Update: May 7, 2012 – While Three Village Patch originally reported that two teens had rescued a dog from the fire, it was later determined that the homeowners' son was the person who saved the dog. The homeowners said they were also present at the time of the fire. Three Village Patch regrets the errors.

Update: 2:58 p.m.: Fire departments have quelled a residential fire which engulfed a Shipyard Lane home.

Brookhaven Town Fire Marshals are on the scene investigating the cause of the fire, which caused significant damage to the house. However fire officials couldn't offer much detail as they continued to clean up.

"The fire went from the first floor, to the second floor, all the way up to the attic," said First Assistant Chief with the Setauket Fire Department, Anthony Todaro.

Todaro said the fire, which was called in at 1:35 p.m., took about 45 minutes to get under control.

No injuries were reported in the blaze.

Original story: Several fire departments are battling a residential fire at 10 Shipyard Lane in Setauket.

Two local teens rushed inside the home when they heard a dog barking.

The fire was reported at 1:35 p.m., and firefighters were still on scene at the two-story home at of 2:15 p.m though the fire appeared under control. Fire units from Setauket, Port Jefferson, Stony Brook, Terryville, Selden and Centereach have been called to the scene, as have Suffolk County Police and Stony Brook Volunteer Ambulance Corps.

The cause of the fire remains unclear.

So, essentially that first residential home is being written off as the price of doing business.Read More There goes that property value. Other than as a professional residence, who would want to live by a driveway for that traffic? As for the entrance Village Automotive, that will bring even more traffic to an already busy intersection nearby. 25A is impassable/impossible in that area for large chunks of the day now.

The rezoning is for the acres of undeveloped residential land across from Ann Maries Farm stand,Read More extending down to the wooded area on 25A. A one way entrance would be placed by Village Automotive and a one way exit would come out on N. Country Rd. adjacent to the first residential house.

Can you tell us where this property is? An address or street name?

I the BOE and Union didn't allow the majority of the budget be spent on benefits and salaries maybeRead More there would be money left for supplies. With declining enrollment and cuts to programs for our kids they only ones making out are teachers and staff with too generous salaries and benefits. Vote no on Tuesday!

Seriously? We are asked to send in enough supplies per kid each year to supply 5 kids. Where does itRead More all go? It gets lost, thrown out, or ends up back in the students home via backpack. The problem is not the lack of supplies, but a lack of personal responsibility. But if we send in enough supplies each year for ten or fifteen students, then we might be able to avoid the underlying problem.

everyone should research what all the school administrators are raking in and the multple levels ofRead More staff that exists at TVCSD. It is beyond reasonable to have salaries at that level and multiple administrators and assistants and directors and assistant directors and chairman etc. Teachers earn their fair share!
