The Suffolk County Fire Rescue and Emergency Services said that they 'had no information to publish at the moment' when he was reached for comment by DailyMail.com.
The Suffolk County police did not respond immediately to the request from DailyMail.com to comment.
There are mass emergency assistance, because experts say that the weather conditions of Saturday may have contributed to the seriousness of the fire.
'The main reason for the risk is only because we have some quite strong wind from the northwest, up to 35 miles per hour. Every time you bind that with low humidity, this can lead to an increased risk of fire spread, the weather service meteorologist Bryan Ramsey told NewSday.
“We have a minimal humidity around 30 percent … So in people we urge to use extreme caution with potential sources of inflammation.”
The National Weather Advisory warned before the fires broke out: 'Exercise carefully dealing with potential sources of ignition, including machines, cigarettes and competitions. All fires that are inflamed will spread quickly. '
