Firefighters battle blaze at $9M Southampton Village home

Fourteen fire departments responded to a fire Saturday afternoon at a $9 million home in Southampton Village, officials said.

A call came in about 12:23 p.m. of smoke at a residence on Wyandanch Lane, Southampton Village Mayor Mark Epley said. The two-story home is about 8,342 square feet, according to property records.

Southampton Fire Department officials and Southampton Village fire marshals were not immediately available for comment Saturday. News 12 Long Island reported that the fire gutted the home.

Firefighters from Bridgehampton, East Hampton, Sag Harbor, North Sea, Hampton Bays, East Quogue and Westhampton Beach were among the 14 departments responding to the scene, Epley said.

The fire broke out in a kitchen while the residents were home and spread to the surrounding walls and ceiling, Epley said. The residents evacuated before first responders arrived, and no injuries were reported, Epley said.

The fire was contained to the dwelling and did not spread beyond that property, he said.

Fire officials told 27East.com that the fire was extinguished about 7:30 p.m. Several firefighters were taken to Southampton Hospital for treatment of smoke inhalation and elevated blood pressure, according to 27East.com

The listed owners of the home are Lawrence and Marilyn Friedland. Lawrence Friedland is a real estate mogul who owns Friedland Properties, whose clients include Polo Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan and Dolce & Gabbana.

The Southampton six-bedroom home was last sold in 2004 for $7 million. Its total property value is estimated at $9.2 million, according to property records.
