Dangerous wind chills grip tri-state as cold stretch drags on
Dangerous wind chills are expected across the tri-state area as a prolonged cold stretch continues, forecasters said. Meteorologists warned that wind gusts could reach about 35 mph, pushing wind chills below zero in some areas by Sunday morning. Temperatures are expected to remain below freezing through the week, with another chance of snow possible by the middle of next week. In New York City, officials said a Code Blue remained in effect and urged residents to seek shelter and check on vulnerable neighbors. City leaders also said more people have been found dead during the cold stretch, with some deaths linked to hypothermia. The deep freeze is also impacting business, with some essential services seeing increased demand while other shops report slower foot traffic as fewer people head out in the cold.

Volunteer firefighter numbers in New York fall to lowest level in decades
Volunteer firefighter numbers across New York state have dropped to their lowest level in decades, raising concerns about staffing shortages and slower emergency response times. Fire officials and chiefs from Long Island and across the state say financial pressures, changing lifestyles and a loss of community connection are making it harder to recruit and retain volunteers. Some firehouses have gone unmanned, and response times are increasing, according to officials. At a news conference, fire leaders urged state lawmakers to consider new incentives, including nominal compensation, tax credits and child care support, to help reverse the trend and keep departments operational.
