Fire Island Lighthouse temporarily closed because of damage

The Fire Island Lighthouse Tower has been temporarily closed until further notice because of damage that may have been caused by the weather.
The National Park Service says an exterior panel on the northeast side of the lighthouse separated from the structure. It called the damage “more cosmetic than it is structural” and said the closure was out of an abundance of caution.
Tours of the lighthouse have been suspended, but the museum and gift shop will remain open.
