Fire investigators in Nassau County say an outdoor grill is to blame for causing a house to go up in flames.
The home on Plitt Avenue in South Farmingdale appears to be a total loss.The homeowner told police he shut the grill off but returned to his back deck to find the house on fire."It's a teachable moment.
Try not to have a barbecue, whether it's charcoal or propane, on a combustible deck, a wood deck, a plastic composite deck, whatever it may be. Try to keep the barbecue at least 10-25 feet away from the house," Nassau County Chief Fire Marshal Michael Uttaro said.
