On December 16, 2016 at 6:11 a.m., the Sag Harbor Fire Department was called to 78 Main Street for a report of a deck fire at the rear of the building. Arriving units found a working fire that had begun to extend into the Sag Harbor Cinema and adjacent buildings, and immediately called for mutual aid from neighboring fire departments. Fueled by icy conditions and strong winds, the fire ended up requiring the help of 16 fire departments and 3 EMS agencies from across the east end of Long Island, as well as resources from Suffolk County Fire and Rescue services. Fortunately there were no injuries. MICHAEL HELLER
