For what reason is it called Fire Island?

Fire Island Beach showed up on graphs during the 1850s, and old stories recommends the name emerged from land-based privateers, or "wreckers," who fabricated ocean side flames around evening time to bait freight ships onto shore. Some say poison ivy gave Fire Island its name, either for its red leaves in pre-winter or its searing tingle.
