From Steuben County Fire Coordinator Timothy Marshall:

At approximately 10:20 AM Thursday, November 10th, Jasper Fire department was dispatched to a possible brush fire on Norton Hollow Road in the Turkey Ridge State Forest Land.

Rain from the remnants of Tropical Storm Nicole has suppressed much of the fire. The fire was 95% controlled as of Friday afternoon. NYS DEC Forest Rangers estimate that approximately 370 acres of both public and private land were consumed by the fire.

Those living or traveling along State Route 248 should be aware that the fire will continue to burn, but should not pose a threat due to the current weather conditions. Smoke from the fire will still be visible for several days until the fire is completely extinguished. Forest Rangers will continue to assess the situation over the next several days until the fire is completely out.

Approximately 75 firefighters from the following agencies assisted in this fire:Jasper, Greenwood, West Union, Woodhull, Troupsburg, Andover, Canisteo, South Hornell, North Hornell, Addison and Bath. Arkport and Howard Fire Departments provided Standby coverage. Jasper Ambulance provided EMS Standby at the scene. Additional support agencies were NYS DEC Forest Rangers, Steuben County Office of Emergency Services, NYS DOT, Steuben County Sheriff’s Office and New York State Police.

The cause of the fire is unknown at this time and remains under investigation.

Max Della Pia concedes to Nick Langworthy:
“I want to thank all the voters who trusted me with their vote, and the volunteers and family who have been with me on this ride. While I regret not being able to serve you in Congress, I can assure you the effort to run was worth it. It is always important to provide the voters a choice, even when the odds are against you. The election results show many voters want their Representative to be bipartisan and oriented toward public service rather than one committed to divisive partisanship and self-interest. Unfortunately, there were not enough of them.
The results of today’s election will have consequences. My hope is that voters will not give up on the election process or our democracy but will rather recommit themselves to responsible government motivated by public service rather than by party, money, power, and ego. In the future, I hope we will be led by our better angels and principles, so that our country will truly become one nation indivisible, with the fulfilled promise of liberty and justice for all.” said Della Pia.
