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.

Others made bets about when and where the falling space station would reenter Earth’s atmosphere. Newspapers offered prizes for finding ... by Tom Clavin

Staring Into the Past

In addition to potatoes, carrots grow well in Sagaponack. Our soil type can sustain their thirsty character while letting that long, singular, sweet tap root seek itself deep and straight into the dirt. Thus anchored, the carrot prospers until the day I loosen the dirt around it, and pull. We sell carrots two ways, with greens or without. Most want without, and I am happy to leave the substantial foliage here in its field and not have it end up dislocated in a dumpster far from “home.” These are vigorous carrots, and I have a system for removing the greens, ... by Marilee Foster
