Gusty Winds Stoke 5,000-Acre Wildfire at New York-New Jersey Border
Briefly

"Gusts of up to 35 miles per hour and the drought gripping much of the Northeast could cause the Jennings Creek fire to grow rapidly and affect air quality in New York City."
"As of Tuesday afternoon, the fire was 10 percent contained in both New York and New Jersey, with officials concerned that rugged terrain has hindered emergency vehicle access."
"In response to the spreading blaze, New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced a statewide burn ban, which prohibits outdoor fires and discourages grill use through Nov. 30."
