Hello again, everybody! It's me, Andrew Tessler, your host of the Huntington Daily. Let's get this Monday started off right, with a quick guide to the most important things going on in town these days...

First, today's weather:

A t-storm around in the p.m. High: 79 low: 69.

Here are the top 3 stories today in Huntington:

1. Check out 5 new houses on the market. The homes are located in the Town of Huntington and vary in price and size. To get more information, click the photo or address of the home. (Huntington Patch)
2. Amazon driver hailed a hero after saving Syosset family from burning home. Kevin Rivera was finishing up his route on Bluebird Dr. when he saw a home engulfed in flames. “I just rushed in,” he said. “My heart, it was just going crazy because I saw the baby and I saw the people and I didn't want them to die either. So, I just rushed in putting my life at risk.” Police say there were five people plus a baby inside the home, along with pets. River was able to escort them out the back door to safety. (News 12 Bronx)
3. See photos from the East Northport Festival. The festival ran all weekend on Larkfield Rd. and was attended by thousands of people. Click the link to see photos from the festival. (Huntington Now)

Your service and sacrifice are not forgotten. October 7, 1958 - September 11, 2001." (Huntington Manor Fire Department Fan Page via Facebook)
• Halesite Fire Department: "Today we remember a day so terrible that it united us a Country. We forgot our petty differences, our rival political parties, our opposing religious views, the colors of our skin and simply came together as Americans. Today we honor those who lost their lives 21 years ago, and who have been taken from us since as a consequence of their bravery in our darkest hour. “No Day Shall Erase You From the Memory of Time.."
