Massive brush fires that raged across Long Island over the weekend may have been caused by someone trying to cook s’mores for breakfast.
Residents in Center Moriches/Manorville tried to start a fire in their backyard around 9 a.m. Saturday to cook up the treat despite heavy winds, officials told ABC 7.
The cardboard ignited and the flames spread to the backyard – and although the blaze was extinguished, embers sparked three other fires near Sunrise Highway, the outlet reported.
The fires tore through the area through Sunday before they were knocked down by emergency responders from more than 90 fire departments and EMS crews.
