“Catastrophic” fire in Sag Harbor destroys Compass, BHS offices on Main Street

A massive fire last Friday ravaged Sag Harbor’s Main Street, gutting four buildings, including the Compass and Brown Harris Stevens storefronts. The real estate offices at 84 and 96 Main Street were destroyed, and the iconic Sag Harbor Cinema also collapsed, save for its facade. The fire, which started around 6 a.m. near the theater, may have been ignited by a bucket of cigarette butts, according to Sag Harbor Village Mayor Sandra Schroeder. Investigators said the fire did not appear to have been intentional, 27East reported. Though the damage was “catastrophic,” Sag Harbor Village Police Chief Austin McGuire said, no one was injured. In a statement, BHS said it has already found a new space. [TRD] [27East]
