New York State has issued a burn ban until November 30th due to wildfires including the significant Jennings Creek fire, spreading over 5,000 acres.
Governor Hochul expressed gratitude for first responders fighting wildfires, emphasizing the increased fire risk and urging the public to refrain from outdoor burning.
Under the burn ban, residents cannot have open fires or uncontained campfires, but they may use contained fire pits and small cooking fires.
Recent rainfall in NYC may mitigate the impact of ongoing drought conditions, which have heightened fire risks this season.
