Riverhead volunteer firefighters battled both fire and wind Monday morning in a fire that damaged three units in the Calverton Hills apartment complex.
The fire was called in at 8:18 a.m. and firefighters were on the scene until 11:45 a.m., according to Riverhead Fire Chief Tim Corwin.
The fire is under investigation by Brookhaven Town fire marshal as well as the Suffolk County Arson Squad, he said.
“We’re not exactly sure of the cause,” Chief Corwin said. “The wind today was definitely the biggest enemy. It really pushed the fire through the house really quickly.”
