Repowering Might Have Sparked Mt. Sinai Home Fire

After electric is turned back on, fire erupts at a house on Wylde Road.

A house fire at 90 Wylde Road in Mt. Sinai on Nov. 5 caused extensive damage and might have started when electrical crews re-energized the house, according to the Mt. Sinai Fire Department.

"Due to the construction of this older home, it was necessary to cut several holes through the different roofs," said a fire department representative.

Miller Place and Mt. Sinai Fire Departments responded to the call. Port Jefferson Ambulance Company was also at the scene.
