Officials say strong winds could lead to more possible brush fires because of the ongoing dry conditions. They're urging Long Islanders to follow the burning restriction to keep everyone safe.
“People have to be careful don’t throw your cigarettes out. Riverhead is in a state of an emergency. No fires at all. People have to be vigilant,” said J.R Renten Chief, of the Riverhead Fire Department.
The Red Flag Warning signals that these hazardous conditions could fuel rapid fire growth, making the situation particularly dangerous for firefighters and residents alike.
Suffolk County has reported 168 brushfires since Oct. 25, and Nassau County has seen 53.
