Selden (11784) sits in inland Brookhaven, with Coram, Centereach and Medford nearby. Smoke follows ducts and wall cavities, so cleaning usually extends well beyond the room where the fire began.
Oil-fired heating equipment that is not regularly serviced can malfunction and coat a whole house in soot. Original wiring and electrical panels in older homes were sized for lighter loads, and overloaded circuits are a known risk.
