Crews still battle brushfires in Northeast

Firefighters continue to battle a series of brushfires raging on nearly 2,600 acres in the U.S. Northeast, which officials say were triggered by high winds and dry conditions. Parts of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania have been issued warnings by the National Weather Service after a recent dry spell in the region. Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday declared a state of emergency for New York’s Suffolk County, where a 1,000-acre blaze broke out Monday. The declaration makes the county eligible for financial assistance.
