Fire officials say oil from a deep-fried Thanksgiving Day turkey sparked a house fire in North Babylon. 
There were no injuries reported in Wednesday’s fire at the home. Firefighters were there for about two hours.
The North Babylon fire chief says the family put the turkey in too fast and the oil boiled over, sparking flames. The home’s exterior and rear deck were damaged.

Fire officials say the family is headed to a relative’s for holiday dinner. The family was not identified.
