SCHOHARIE COUNTY, N.Y . – New York State Forest Rangers were called into action twice this past week, responding to both a dramatic vehicle accident and stranded hikers in hazardous conditions. On February 14 , Forest Ranger France responded to a severe accident on State Route 30 , where a pickup truck lost control, flipped off a bridge, and landed in a small creek. One of the occupants managed to escape the wreckage on their own, while the second remained trapped. Ranger France and a New York State Police Trooper assisted Schoharie County Paramedics  in securing the first patient onto a backboard before carrying them up to an ambulance. Emergency crews, including the Middleburgh Fire Department , worked to extricate the second occupant and transport them to a second ambulance. The operation also involved traffic control and the removal of the wrecked truck from the creek. Just days later, on February 17 , Rangers Commerford, Fox, and Peterson  responded to an emergency call at Kaaterskill Falls , where two hikers found themselves stranded on ice at the lower falls. The hikers, unfamiliar with the area, lacked proper lighting, winter gear, or traction devices for their boots, putting them in a dangerous situation. Upon reaching them, Rangers provided traction devices and headlamps, guiding them safely back to their vehicle while educating them on winter hiking essentials. Officials urge all outdoor enthusiasts to be prepared before venturing into the wilderness. For more information on hiking safety and essentials , visit Hike Smart NY .

ROCHESTER, N.Y. –  As strikes at correctional facilities across New York continue to spread, tensions have escalated at Groveland Correctional Facility in Livingston County, where correctional officers are picketing in defiance of state leadership. In response, Governor Kathy Hochul has threatened to deploy the National Guard to maintain operations if the work stoppage persists. Despite the ongoing strike, state officials assured the public that Groveland remains functional and secure. However, corrections officers across multiple facilities are refusing to report for duty, citing unsafe working conditions and excessive overtime mandates. “It’s about safety. It’s about keeping our guys safe. It’s about letting our employees see their families,”  said retired corrections officer David Washburn, who worked at Groveland for more than two decades before leaving last summer. “We were responding to medical emergencies constantly for inmate overdoses. Violence has increased tremendously over the last couple of years. This year alone, there’s a record number of assaults on staff and inmates. It’s not safe for anybody behind these fences.” The striking officers are demanding several changes, including: The repeal of the HALT Act, which restricts the use of solitary confinement. The digitization of incoming mail for inmates to reduce contraband. Mandatory body scans for visitors. A $5,000 hiring bonus for new employees. A ban on mandatory overtime exceeding 16-hour shifts. While their union has not officially sanctioned the strike, the officers insist their actions are necessary for their safety and the integrity of the correctional system. State law prohibits public workers—including correctional officers—from striking under the Taylor Law , which could lead to disciplinary action, fines, and even termination. Hochul’s office reaffirmed Tuesday that if strikes continue into Wednesday, National Guard troops will be deployed to affected facilities. Despite the governor’s warning, striking officers remain steadfast, continuing their demonstrations overnight with rotating shifts. Many say they hope state leaders will engage in meaningful discussions and take action to address their concerns. The situation remains fluid, and further updates are expected as tensions between correctional officers and state leadership escalate. (Bob Lonsberry is at Nys Groveland Correctional Facility) Facebook Quote- This is what it looks like when David takes on Goliath. Correctional officers across the state, disrespected by the governor and endangered by the commissioner, are refusing to take it anymore. Less than 24 hours into their wildcat strike, they have forced the governor to call out the National Guard and have drawn the support of millions of New Yorkers.

High Wind Warnings are in effect for portions of Central New York, North Country, Mohawk Valley, Southern Tier, Capital District, and Mid-Hudson Regions with Wind Advisories in effect for the rest of New York State. The Governor has an Executive Order in place declaring a State of Emergency, allowing the State to coordinate and share resources with local governments affected by upcoming storms. This includes the State Department of Transportation, which will provide assistance to municipalities impacted by the State of Emergency in excess of existing shared service agreements. The order also waives “hours of service” requirements for truck drivers to facilitate emergency salt deliveries ahead of these storms and includes other measures to facilitate emergency salt deliveries to State and local agencies across the State.

New Yorkers are also encouraged to sign up for emergency alerts by subscribing to NY Alert — a free service providing critical emergency information to your cell phone or computer. Agency Preparations New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services The Division’s Office of Emergency Management is in contact with their local counterparts and is prepared to facilitate requests for assistance. State stockpiles are staffed and ready to deploy emergency response assets and supplies as needed. The State Watch Center is monitoring the storm track and statewide impacts closely. Winter preparedness tips can be found at www.dhses.ny.gov . New York State Department of Transportation The State Department of Transportation is responding with 3,735 supervisors and operators available statewide. All field staff are fully engaged. All available response equipment is deployed and all residencies in impacted locations will remain staffed for 24/7 operations with operators, supervisors and mechanics throughout the duration of the event and priority cleanup operations. Statewide equipment numbers are as follows: 1,635 large plow trucks 349 large loaders 158 medium duty plows 54 tow plows 30 snow blowers 20 graders The need for additional resources will be re-evaluated as conditions warrant throughout the event.

More than 50 of the Thruway’s heavy-duty plow trucks across the state are equipped with devices that can provide real-time data and alerts to popular vehicle navigation applications. In addition, all of the Thruway's more than 250 heavy-duty plow trucks are equipped with green hazard lights, complementing the standard amber hazard lights. Green lights are intended to improve visibility and enhance safety during winter operations, particularly in low-light conditions and poor weather. Drivers are reminded that Thruway snowplows travel at about 35 miles per hour — which in many cases is slower than the posted speed limit — in order to ensure that salt being dispersed stays in the driving lanes and does not scatter off the roadways. The safest place for motorists is well behind the snowplows where the roadway is clear and treated. The Thruway Authority encourages motorists to download its mobile app which is available for free on iPhone and Android devices. The app provides motorists direct access to real-time traffic information, live traffic cameras, and navigation assistance while on the go.

Disposal of snow in local creeks and streams can create ice dams, which may cause flooding. Public and private snow removal operators should be aware of these safety issues during and after winter storms. Additional information is available at Division of Water Technical and Operational Guidance Series: Snow Disposal . Unpredictable winter weather and storms in the Adirondacks, Catskills and other backcountry areas, can create unexpectedly hazardous conditions.

When using alternative heat sources such as a fireplace, woodstove, etc. always make sure you have proper ventilation and follow manufacturer's instructions. Keep curtains, towels and potholders away from hot surfaces. Have a fire extinguisher and smoke detectors and make sure they work. If you use kerosene heaters to supplement your regular heating fuel, or as an emergency source of heat, follow these safety tips: Follow the manufacturers' instructions. Use only the correct fuel for your unit. Refuel outdoors only and only when the unit is cool. Keep the heater at least three feet away from furniture and other flammable objects.
