🌱 Woman, Dogs Rescued From House Fire + TWA Flight 800 26 Years Later

Good morning, friends! It's me, Jacqueline Sweet, your host of the Daily. Here are all the most important things to know about what's happening in town today...

First, today's weather:

Partly sunny, warm and humid. High: 88 Low: 76.

Here are the top three stories in Miller Place-Rocky Point today:

1. Firefighters and an off-duty police officer rescued a woman and her three dogs from a house fire in Islip Terrace on Sunday. The fire at 4 Cleveland St. around 11 a.m. trapped the woman in the basement. (Patch)
2. Family and friends gathered at the memorial for the victims of TWA Flight 800 at Smith Point County Park in Shirley on Sunday. Relatives and friends of the over 200 people killed 26 years ago continue to hold the memorials at the beach, close to where the plane exploded over the ocean. (Subscription: Newsday)
3. A planned arts center meant to help with the revitalization of downtown East Patchogue will have a stage on East Main Street. A vacant property is being donated to Brookhaven Town by its owner, Rechler Equity Partners. (Subscription: Newsday)

• The Long Island Rail Road is bringing back its 1980s "M3" train cars, with wood-paneled walls and duct-taped upholstery. The railroad's new fleet has been delayed so the older cars will be put back into the rotation by the end of the year. (Subscription: Newsday)
