A series of wildfires on Long Island, initiated by an accidental backyard fire from a failed s'mores attempt, spread over hundreds of acres due to strong winds. Local officials confirmed there was no foul play following an investigation by the Suffolk County Police Department. The initial fire ignited while trying to light a fire with cardboard, and strong winds caused embers to spark additional fires throughout the area. By Sunday morning, fire containment was achieved, with full control established by Monday.
