The National Weather Service has issued fire danger warnings for Orange, Putnam, Rockland, and Westchester counties, calling attention to an enhanced risk of wildfire spread due to a combination of low humidity levels ranging between 25 and 30 percent and south winds gusting around 20 mph. These conditions can lead to fires rapidly getting out of control and becoming difficult to contain. In light of these concerns, residents are reminded that the annual statewide burn ban remains in effect until May 14th, and no burn permits are being issued during this period.
