New York is under a burn ban-here is what that means
Briefly

The general public is being asked to refrain from burning things in public given the increased fire risk that the current weather conditions have caused.
This burn ban prohibits the starting of outdoor fires statewide for purposes of brush and debris disposal, as well as uncontained campfires, and open fires used for cooking.
Certain areas in New York State, such as Hudson Valley and Long Island, are at very high risk for fire danger due to the ongoing dry conditions.
New York State residents are prohibited from burning garbage or leaves all year-round, which is especially pertinent during the current burn ban.
