The massive brush fire that impacted the East End of Long Island​ is no longer burning in Westhampton, but Forest Rangers worked all day on Sunday to contain the perimeter.

The ban follows a state of emergency declared in Suffolk County by Hochul to deploy ground and air support to assist with the effort to control the fire. Firefighters from across Long Island battled the blaze. Air National Guard helicopters dropped water on the flames.

Following brush fires in Long Island, Gov. Kathy Hochul issued a burn ban until March 16, when New York’s annual statewide burn ban takes effect.
