New York City enforces statewide burn ban to prevent wildfires

silive.com

New York City will enforce a statewide ban on brush burning starting March 16, lasting until May 14. This ban prohibits outdoor fires for debris disposal to help prevent wildfires. The ban is implemented due to dry conditions, with rainfall at about 73% of the historical average since December 2024. This low precipitation raises concerns about potential wildfires as spring approaches.
