Fire Ravages Lake Ronkonkoma Home; 1 Hurt

LAKE RONKONKOMA, NY – Several fire departments battled a blaze that consumed a Long Island home early Tuesday and police are searching for a resident who reportedly told his father just days ago that the home might explode.

The fire broke out around 1:30 a.m. on Dorchester Road. The home was engulfed in flames when the Ronkonkoma Fire Department arrived on the scene.

A man who lives at the home was taken to the hospital with minor burns. His son, 40-year-old Robert Antonette, was not in the home at the time of the fire, but citing police sources, PIX 11 reported that the son told his father a few days ago to be careful because the house might explode.

Police also told PIX 11 that two week ago the son was seen climbing fences while naked and digging a hole in his backyard claiming there was a bomb.

Robert Antonette was found guilty of driving while impaired by drugs, reckless endangerment and criminal obstruction of breathing last year, according to court records.
