Officials said on Monday that a resident of New York accidentally suspected to ignite a series of wildfires to make S’Mores in his backyard, which was swept away in hundreds of acres in the Pine Bairence region of Long Island.
Safok County Police Commissioner Kevin Katalina said that “operating theory” is that there was a fire in ET at around 9:30 pm, when a resident used a cardboard, which was to start a fire to make S Morses, a confectionery that included a confectionery that included toasted marshmallows and chocolate sandwich between Graham Crackers.
“S’Mores manufactured S’Mores was unable to burn fire due to winds, but she initially used cardboard to lighten the fire,” Katalina said during a press conference on Monday. “Later the person comes to know that the fire ignites in the backyard area and all go into the fire.”

Katalina said the initial fire was extinguished by 10:30 am, but investigators believe that the Amberds blew the eighth part of one mile in the south -east of the S’MORES fire and started a second explosion before 1 pm in the Manorville community of Suffolk County.
According to Katalina, at a speed of 45 mph at a speed of 45 mph, the jani -makers caught fire in the Eastport and another fire in another fire in publicly protected pine barren area.
“It was initially reported that there were four separate fire, or reported at a time,” said Katalina. “All those fire are in a straight line with strong north -western wind that was flowing on that day. And it is believed that embers used to travel by each fire and set more fire. So it is still an operating principle.”

Katalina said that there are 25 arson investigators investigating the explosion to determine the exact cause of the fire in the department, but said, “So far, our investigation is firmly pointing towards an accidental origin for Saturday’s fire.”
The joint fire burnt around 600 acres of Wildland and inspired New York village Kathy Hocul to declare an emergency situation. Officials said at least two commercial structures were damaged.
Edward p. Romain said on Monday that two volunteers were injured on Saturday, one of which was burn on his face with a second -class burn at Stony Brooke Hospital in Stony Brooke. The fire fighter admitted to another hospital faced a non-janle-headed injury, Romain said.

The fire in the Safok County “is 100% vested,” said Amanda Lefton, Acting Commissioner of the Department of Environment Protection of New York State. Lefton said that the firefighting would be on-seas in the next few days to prevent any spot fire from igniting.
Romein said that at one point during Saturday’s blaze, the firefighters feared that the blaze would jump the sunrise highway and spread to the more populated communities of Safok County.
He said that the fire was fuel by hundreds of dead pine trees in the pine bare area.
“Without everyone’s joint efforts, we won’t be able to stop this fire,” Romain said. “It was a fire that could have been much more serious than this.”
More than 600 firefighters of 80 Swayamsevak Safok County Fire Departments responded to Blaze, struggling with flames and visible from far away as a connecticut, said Romain.
