Montauk F.D. Puts Out Electrical Fire Sunday

A small electrical fire broke out in a house on Culloden Point in Montauk on Sunday evening. The Montauk Fire Department called for back up, but quickly extinguished the fire.

The fire was reported at 14 Beach Plum Road in Culloden Shores at 5:33 p.m. The Amagansett Rapid Intervention Team, a specially-trained group of firefighters who can rescue firefighters if necessary, were called to Montauk, but were not needed. 

It was not immediately clear how bad the damage was to the house. The East Hampton Town Fire Marshal's office is investigating the cause. 

Sunday evening proved to be a busy day on the South Fork. The Sag Harbor Volunteer Ambulance Corps called for the medevac helicopter to transport a person who fell down stairs behind 36 Main Street in Sag Harbor Village on Sunday at about 6:15 p.m. The Sag Harbor Fire Department's rescue squad assisted E.M.S., and an engine stood by at Havens Beach for the medevac to land.
