Major Wildfires on Long Island: State of Emergency Declared
Massive wildfires have erupted on Long Island, near New York, prompting authorities to declare a state of emergency. The fire is spreading at speeds of up to 56 km/h, making it extremely dangerous for residential areas and infrastructure.
Situation on the ground: The fire has engulfed large areas of forest, with strong winds contributing to its rapid spread.
Authorities have initiated the evacuation of residents in nearby areas, warning of a potential expansion of the danger zone.
Fire services have been mobilized, with aviation deployed to combat the fire. Helicopters and planes are dropping water and fire-suppressing chemicals to extinguish the flames.
Emergency services are on the ground, working to contain the fire and prevent it from reaching residential neighborhoods.
Consequences and forecast: The environmental situation in the region has sharply deteriorated: increased smoke, toxic emissions in the air, and reduced visibility.
The fire is already threatening key transportation routes, which could complicate movement and evacuation efforts.
If the wind changes direction, the fire zone could expand significantly, putting new areas at risk.
Authorities are urging the public to take precautions, avoid smoky areas, and follow official updates on the situation’s development.
Experts warn that if the fire is not contained in the coming hours, it could spiral out of control, leading to catastrophic consequences for the region.
