Westhampton fire fully knocked down, Suffolk County officials say
The Westhampton brush fire, the largest of the blazes that swept across eastern Suffolk County on Saturday, is fully knocked down, Suffolk County officials said on Sunday.
Efforts are underway to ensure the fire is fully contained, the officials said, which refers to building enough breaks around it to prevent it from reigniting and spreading. Officials had earlier said firefighters had reached full containment.
