Burn ban issued for LI
Gov. Kathy Hochul has issued a burn ban, effective immediately, for Long Island, a day after the fires that covered a swath of the eastern part of the island.
The move comes ahead of the annual statewide ban on residential brush burning, which will take effect on March 16.
The immediate ban also covers New York City and some areas in the Hudson Valley.
