Original Story - A fire broke out Tuesday morning in what is being called a service building on the dock behind Danford's Marina in Port Jefferson Harbor, police and the village mayor have confirmed.

Reports started coming into Patch at around 9:36 a.m. that a fire was raging on a dock in downtown Port Jefferson. Witnesses have reported that the fire is burning near Danford's Marina.

Port Jefferson and Terryville Fire Departments have responded to the scene.

Suffolk County Police confirmed that a call came in at 9:13 a.m. reporting the fire.

"They're still investigating," Port Jefferson Mayor Margot Garant told Patch at the scene of the fire. "It's a service building for the marina at Danford's. It was vacant and dormant right now."

Police said that no injuries were reported immediately, however it could have been worse despite the building reportedly being unoccupied.

"The wind was coming from the north and pushed it towards us," Garant said. "These guys responded in the nick of time."

Photos of the blaze have been sent to Patch from all over the village of the fire. If you have photos to share, please sign into Patch upload them to this post.
