One firefighter injured while fighting fire
Suffolk County Executive Ed Romaine said there has been one injury so far related to the fire – a second-degree burn on the face of one of the firefighters. That firefighter was airlifted to Stony Brook University's Burn Center.
Romaine said two commercial structures have also been damaged by the fire: one at Gabreski Airport and one on County Route 31.
No residences are currently threatened, but officials are urging residents to remain vigilant and officials will quickly notify if that changes, Southampton Police Chief James Kiernan said.
