Communities at risk...

July 13 2012 Governor Andrew M. Cuomo urged all New Yorkers to take extra caution, as dry weather conditions have led to a heightened danger of wildfires across Upstate and Western New York. In addition, the state today will institute a statewide residential burn ban for 90 days through October 10.

 "These conditions should not be taken lightly," Governor Cuomo said. "The potential for disastrous wildfires is present in all areas of the state and we must do whatever we can to prevent fires from occurring. The state will continue to closely monitor the wildfire danger and we will deploy whatever resources are necessary to protect New Yorkers should a critical situation occur."

 Communities with industrial wind developments are at risk.  What would happen if there was a turbine fire during a burn ban ?
 The possibility of  a large scale disaster is real!
