...ELEVATED RISK FOR FIRE SPREAD TODAY...

The combination of prolonged dry weather, northwesterly winds up 
to 20 mph with locally higher gusts, relative humidity values 
between 25 and 35 percent, and dry fuels will contribute to the
potential for rapid fire spread in portions of eastern New York, 
including the western Champlain Valley, as well as areas from the 
Green Mountains eastwards.

An emergency statewide burn ban is in effect until November 30th
for New York. No burn permits will be issued at this time. Use 
extra caution if handling any potential ignition sources, such as 
machinery or matches, and ensure to properly extinguish or dispose
cigarette butts. Across Vermont, burn bans remain in effect across
Rutland, Windsor, Bennington, and Windham Counties. Consult with
local or state fire or forestry officials before any burning.
Never leave a campfire unattended.
