Update: Stop & Shop Reopens Following Closure Due to Fire

Stop & Shop announced in an email to customers on Thursday at 3 p.m. that the Southampton Village grocery store is back open.

“Our Southampton store was temporarily closed for a few days due to a fire, in which no one was hurt. We are now reopened and welcoming back customers. We apologize for any inconvenience.”

Update: Stop & Shop Will Remain Closed Until Friday

Following a fire on Friday, July 21, Stop & Shop in Southampton Village is now projected to reopen on Friday, July 28.

The supermarket was expected to reopen on Tuesday, July 25, but remained closed the following day, and security stationed in front of the entrance said that the reopening is planned for Friday.

Original

The Southampton Fire Department was dispatched to Stop & Shop supermarket on Jagger Lane in Southampton Village for a reported structure fire at 11:26 p.m. on Friday, July 21.

While responding, the chiefs were advised that there were flames visible. The chiefs had Southampton Village Police dispatchers reactivate as a working commercial fire.

The first engine arrived and immediately the crew entered the building and found a fire in the rear of the building. It was extinguished quickly, but there was heavy smoke throughout the building. Fans were used to remove the smoke.

North Sea Fire Department was asked to send an engine to the scene, and Hampton Bays Fire Department was requested to send a Rapid Intervention Team.

Southampton Village Volunteer Ambulance was on scene with two ambulances and multiple personnel to assist with firefighter rehab. Crews were on scene for approximately 90 minutes.

First Assistant Chief Polis Walker and 2nd Assistant Chief Richard Fowler were in command for Southampton Fire Department. A Southampton Village fire marshal was on scene to investigate the fire’s origin. No injuries were reported.

PSEG and National Grid were requested to the scene.

On Saturday, July 22, Southampton Village Police Chief Suzanne Hurteau said Stop & Shop was expected to be closed until Tuesday, July 25.

Turkeys and Eagles

The turkey is the loudest thing in the predawn hours. A “gobble” descriptor does not come close to capturing his overture. From the distant darkness, it’s no songbird tuning-in when the turkey lets loose his call. So much like the bird itself, it’s a big and a slightly comical noise, followed then by a long silence. Saying nothing more, he flaps down from his roost to begin his day. There are ladies to court and toms to fight, grubs to be scratched from the earth. To be a turkey in Sagg is not so bad.

At best, the town’s highway superintendent is diligently picking at various parts of the heap, hoping to loosen it a tiny bit. Suffolk County officials were active participants this time, which is helpful, and they will be sitting down ... by Editorial Board
