The cause of the wildfires that swept through part of Long Island, New York, over the weekend is believed to have been a resident making s'mores, police said.

Police in New York say multiple brush fires that burned across a wooded area of Long Island over the weekend were accidentally caused by a family's attempt to make s’mores.

The massive brush fire that impacted the East End of Long Island​ is no longer burning in Westhampton, but Forest Rangers worked all day on Sunday to contain the perimeter.

Following brush fires in Long Island, Gov. Kathy Hochul issued a burn ban until March 16, when New York’s annual statewide burn ban takes effect.

The wildfires began accidentally when someone in Suffolk County tried to light a fire to make s’mores, officials said. They were fully contained by Monday.

The cause of the brush fires that ravished 400 acres on Long Island’s Pine Barrens have been ruled accidental.

Gov. Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency and said state agencies were responding to the fires around the Pine Barrens, a wooded area that is home to commuter towns east of New York City. She said homes, a chemical factory and an Amazon warehouse were at risk and more evacuations may be needed.

Fires are tied to the history of the pine barrens, now at 105,000 acres, down from what experts believe at one time was a quarter of a million acres.
