The Lead

Local fire officials across Sea Cliff, Glen Head, and Oyster Bay are calling on residents to double down on seasonal fire prevention as high humidity and summer heat continue. With outdoor cooking, fire pits, and seasonal electrical setups at peak usage, local departments have seen a seasonal bump in avoidable emergency dispatches across the North Shore.

Chiefs from the participating departments recommend keeping grill stations at least ten feet away from wooden structures, inspecting gas hoses before every lighting, and ensuring backyard fire pits are fully extinguished before heading inside. Fire personnel also advise homeowners to double-check battery levels on home smoke detectors during high-heat stretches. Local stations remain fully staffed, but officials stress that simple home precautions are the primary defense.
