Structure fire

Riverhead firefighters are battling a large barn off Twomey Avenue in Calverton. The barn was engulfed in flames this morning when Riverhead Police and Riverhead Fire Department raced to the scene.

A long-vacant house set back in the woods off Main Road in Riverhead was destroyed by a fire thought to be set by a downed tree pulling down power lines near the house, which was fully engulfed in flames when firefighters responded to a 2 a.m. call.

Riverhead firefighters averted potential catastrophe at a soundfront condominium complex before dawn today by quickly dousing a futon that was fully engulfed in flames when they arrived.

A preliminary investigation determined the fire to be accidental, police said. Mother and son displaced by the fire relocated with assistance of Red Cross.
