Wildfire claims life of New York State Parks worker

The drought that is plaguing Southeastern New York and bordering states and contributing to wildfires has claimed the life of a New York State Parks employee.
New York, meanwhile, remained under a statewide burn ban, which at press time was to be in effect through Nov. 30. The ban was issued in early November as firefighting crews in both New York and New Jersey worked to contain what has become known as the Jenning’s Creek Wildfire.
