Call 631-614-5063Middle Island (11953) is one of the communities in the central part of Suffolk County; neighboring areas include Yaphank, Medford and Upton. Heavily wooded lots can carry brush and woods fires toward homes in dry, windy conditions.
Chimney and wood-stove problems are an occasional fire origin in homes on wooded lots. Original wiring and electrical panels in older homes were sized for lighter loads, and overloaded circuits are a known risk.

For Middle Island property owners, that means securing the property, cleaning soot and smoke residue thoroughly, and documenting everything for insurance.
