A fire broke out in a Cutchogue home Sunday afternoon.

The Cutchogue Fire Department was activated at 1:22 p.m. for a possible structure fire in at a home located at 4855 Stillwater Ave.. in Cutchogue

The homeowner called 911 when he arrived home to discover that he had smoke inside his home.

Upon arrival of the first fire and police units, it was evident there was a fire in the home as smoke could be seen coming from the home.

Upon further investigation it was found that there was an active fire in the basement. The first floor of the home also appeared to be full of smoke with the conditions changing rapidly.

Firefighters from Engine 8-5-4 deployed hoselines and made entry to the home through a exterior basement entrance to start an interior attack.

Inside the basement, they were encountered with heavy smoke and high heat conditions as they searched for the seat of the fire.

The firefighters were able to gain control and knock down the bulk of the fire, which allowed additional teams of firefighters to be used to search and check for any fire extension in the basement and on the first floor.

Additional members from Ladder 8-5-3 and Rescue 8-5-5 arrived and assisted with ventilation and other fireground tasks.

A majority of the Fire damage was confined to the basement area, and required extensive overhaul to check for any remaining fire in the ceilings and walls throughout the home.

The remainder of the home suffered significant smoke and heat damage.

Water was supplied to the scene by a fire hydrant located near the home.

Firefighters were on scene for approximately 3 hours and traffic was detoured by Fire Police during that time.

No injuries were reported. EMS & Ambulance personnel from the CFD Rescue Squad and Stony Brook University First Responder Unit were on scene throughout the fire.

Mutual Aid was requested from our neighboring Departments. The Mattituck Fire Department responded with a rapid intervention team. Southold firefighters stood by at Cutchogue Fire headquarters with an engine crew and an ambulance.

The Suffolk County Police Department's arson squad is investigating the cause of the fire, and is not deemed suspicious.

Units: Chief 8-5-30, 31 & 32, Captain 8-5-50, Engines 8-5-1, 2, 4, Ladder 8-5-3, Rescue 8-5-5, Ambulance 8-5-17, Fire Police 8-5-6 &15
