Long Island is under a fire weather watch for Saturday. Western Nassau County is in a severe drought, and the rest of Long Island is in a moderate drought.

Firefighters from across Long Island have been battling brushfires. Unusually dry conditions have caused these fires to spark in some areas.

As we've reported, there was a brush fire in Coram on Thursday. Last weekend, firefighters put out another brush fire in Riverhead. Last week, fire trucks were inside the Massapequa Preserve putting out a fire.

“Almost every fire department in the county has responded to some type of brush fire over the last couple of weeks,” said Nassau Chief Fire Marshal Michael Uttaro.

Uttaro says fire departments are prepared and have special equipment to fight brushfires. Officials say you can conserve water and be smart about fire safety.
