Active Wildfires in New York
No active wildfires are currently being tracked in New York.About New York Wildfire Season
New York's fire risk concentrates in early spring, from March through May, before green up returns moisture to the landscape, with a smaller and more sporadic summer lightning season mostly confined to the Adirondacks. The state genuinely splits into two different ecosystems. Adirondack and Catskill mountain forest holds hardwood and pine at elevation, while Long Island's Central Pine Barrens is a fire adapted pitch pine and scrub oak ecosystem sitting inside one of the most densely populated wildland urban interfaces anywhere in the country. Long Island's fire history is remarkable on its own. A 1995 fire there actually jumped a four hundred foot wide highway twice and cut off access to the Hamptons for days, and the region has burned repeatedly since precisely because this ecosystem needs periodic fire to regenerate at all.New York Fire Map Today
