FIRE SPREAD TUESDAY...



The combination of drying fine fuels, southwest wind gusts 

as high as 25 to 35 mph, and relative humidity values as low as 

30 to 40 percent will lead to an elevated risk of fire spread 

today across Delaware and Sullivan Counties, mainly during the 

afternoon hours.



As a reminder, the annual statewide burn ban remains in effect 

until May 14. No burn permits are issued. Use extra caution if 

handling any potential ignition sources such as machinery or 

matches and ensure to properly extinguish or dispose of cigarette 

butts. Please refer to the New York State Department of Environmental

Conservation website for more information on burn restrictions.
