Fire Breaks Out in Southampton Village House

Firefighters are battling a house fire in the estate section of Southampton Village Friday afternoon. The fire was reportedly through the roof at 104 Halsey Neck Lane, a six-bedroom, eight-bath house that sold for $11.5 million in 2014. 

The Southampton Fire Department was called about 1:50 p.m. They asked for assistance from the Hampton Bays, North Sea, and Bridgehampton Fire Departments. In addition, the East Hampton Fire Department is standing by at Southampton's headquarters in case there are other calls, and Sag Harbor firefighters are standing by in North Sea. 

Firefighters are working in already grueling heat. Temperatures in Southampton are around 85 degrees.
