• Members of the Southold Fire Department extinguished a fire caused by a closed damper in a lit fireplace in a Southold residence Friday around 3:56 p.m. A Southold woman at the home told police she lit a fire in the fireplace, when her home began filling up with smoke and her fire alarm activated. She said she did not realize the damper in the fireplace was closed, causing smoke to fill the house. The fire was extinguished, the damper was opened and smoke was cleared from the residence, according to police. A minor amount of smoke damage was reported. Police advised the woman to exercise greater caution next time she lights a fire.
