With recent drought conditions, there have been multiple wildfires ignited across the state, and we have deployed state assets and agencies to coordinate with local first responders. - Gov. Hochul

That's what the governor had to say on Saturday.

Right now the biggest reasons for the amount of fires and how they're spreading is not only the wind but the drought as well. While crews battle these fires, there's no telling when they will under control or when it will end. Experts say that the drought and dry conditions could last another two months.

All we can hope is that everyone remains safe as there has already been one life lost fighting these fires.

If you do see anything they are encouraging folks to use the DEC website and call the Air Quality Hotline at 1-800-535-1345.
