Bill Summary

Honoring New York State first responders for their valiant efforts in combating the brush fires in Suffolk County, Long Island

AI Summary

This resolution honors the heroic first responders who combated a significant brush fire in Suffolk County, Long Island on March 8-10, 2025. The fire burned approximately 400-600 acres and required the emergency assistance of around 600 responders from 80 fire departments and 10 ambulance crews, along with support from various state agencies including the New York Air National Guard, Department of Environmental Conservation, and State Police. Due to challenging conditions like increased wind velocities and lack of precipitation, the fire spread rapidly, prompting a state of emergency declaration and the deployment of four National Guard helicopters that conducted 88 water drops totaling over 24,000 gallons. The resolution specifically recognizes the numerous fire departments and ambulance services from Suffolk County and surrounding areas, as well as police departments, for their tireless and professional efforts in containing the fire by March 10, 2025. Additionally, a burn ban was implemented in the region to prevent future similar incidents. The resolution emphasizes the first responders' selfless dedication, heroism, and commitment to protecting life, nature, and property, and directs that a copy of the resolution be transmitted to the Suffolk County Department of Fire, Rescue, and Emergency Services.
