By PIO Elle Sacher
October 27, 2024

Attention, Mahopac Residents,

We want to provide you with an important update regarding the smoke currently affecting our area. This smoke is coming from a significant brush fire in Kent that was reported on October 26th.

The smoke is causing a noticeable haze and odor in Mahopac. Local authorities have informed us that 911 operators are receiving numerous calls from residents reporting the smell of smoke.

Current Status: There is no immediate risk to our community in Mahopac. However, the scene remains active, and firefighters are diligently working to prevent further spread of the fire. As always, we encourage all residents to stay informed.

Safety Recommendations:
• If the smoke becomes bothersome, please stay indoors and keep windows and doors closed.
• Limit outdoor activities, especially for those with respiratory conditions.
• Avoid the area near the brush fire to allow emergency responders to work without interference.
• Monitor our Facebook and Instagram for the latest updates on the situation.

Particulate matter from the smoke can cause respiratory issues, so it's essential to be vigilant, particularly for at-risk individuals.

Thank you for your understanding and support as our brave firefighters continue to combat this fire.
