Vehicle Fire East Hampton Massachusetts in East Hampton, Massachusetts: A small plane crashed near the intersection of Mill Hill Lane and Meadow Way in East Hampton in 2005, leaving one person dead. Firefighting foam (AFFF) used during the response to the crash has been identified as a potential source of "forever chemical" water contamination affecting Suffolk County Water Authority wells. East Hampton Town officials have formed a task force to investigate the contamination, which may also stem from a 2023 battery energy storage system fire on Cove Hollow Road.
