New York Gov. Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency Saturday after several wind-driven brush fires broke out in New York’s Long Island, sending large smoke plumes into the air and shutting down a highway.

At least two commercial structures have burned down, Suffolk County officials said. One firefighter suffered second-degree burns in the blazes.

Gov. Kathy Hochul issued a state of emergency in light of the fires. She said in a statement that the state's National Guard is providing air support, and that personnel from several other state agencies have also been dispatched to assist.
