A controlled burn of leaves apparently got out of control at 2099 Phelps Road, Pembroke.

Fire crews have been dispatched to the location to help put out a grass fire.

UPDATE 2:45 p.m.: Fire knocked down.

Burning leaves is banned in NY state, and for good reason.

Why would anyone consider burning anything on such a windy day?

NY can make a crap load of money by ticketing violators! Good enough reason for Gov Dave to close that budget gap.
