forest fire

Forest fires don't just happen out west, they can happen in your backyard too.

A fire is burning over 5 acres of rugged terrain in the Adirondacks Mountains and crews are still working to put it out.

The DEC announced that a burn ban will go into effect all across New York State starting March 16 and running through May 14 to reduce the risk of wildfires.

First responders in the Hudson Valley have been fighting a brush fire on Breakneck Ridge.
