Hey, everybody! I'm here with your fresh copy of the Sachem Daily, full of all the community news you need to know right now. Including updates on:

  • Fire breaks out at Farmingville home, one person injured.
  • Man killed in three-vehicle crash in Holbrook Wednesday
  • Five upcoming local open houses.

But first, today's weather:

Sunny to partly cloudy. High: 67 low: 51.

📢 I'm looking for business owners and marketers in Sachem who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Sachem Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that's you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories in Sachem today:

  1. A fire broke out at a Farmingville home. One person was injured. The fire broke out just before 2 a.m. Wednesday at a Berkshire Drive home and multiple departments responded to the scene. Arson detectives also responded. The person injured was taken to a local hospital. (Sachem Patch)
  2. As the real estate market cools down on Long Island, check out these five upcoming open houses. The homes range in price and by location throughout the town of Brookhaven. You can click on the photo of the home for more information about the listing and open house. (Sachem Patch)
  3. A man was killed in a three-vehicle crash in Holbrook Wednesday. Steven Russell, 69, of Brentwood, was driving a 2021 Ford Bronco northbound on Lincoln Avenue when it was struck by a 2015 Ford F550 that was traveling eastbound on Veterans Memorial Highway. The accident occurred at about 7:10 a.m., said police, adding that the F550 then struck a 2005 Chevrolet van that was stopped at the intersection. Russell was taken to Long Island Community Hospital where he was pronounced dead. (Sachem Patch)
