This morning, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo
delivered a briefing and toured the site of the Bethlehem Steel Plant
Fire. The blaze has been contained at this time and there are no
reported injuries associated with the fire. The state is actively
working with local officials, firefighters and first responders to aid
affected communities and support emergency response efforts.
The Governor directed the Division of
Homeland Security and Emergency Services’ Office of Emergency Management
to provide immediate assistance yesterday, and has directed them to
remain on scene. Additionally, the Department of Environmental
Conservation, Department of Health and the Office of Fire Prevention and
Control are leading air quality monitoring efforts with other agencies.
The air quality monitors provide real-time data to local emergency
management officials to support any actions needed to protect public
health. The state will continue to actively monitor the air quality. The
Department of Transportation has provided equipment to assist with
traffic control.
