To all who celebrate, have a very Happy Chanukah! Here are some important safety tips.
As you light the menorah, keep these tips in mind to prevent fire hazards:
Use sturdy candle holders on a stable surface.
Keep hair and loose clothing away from the flame.
Never burn a candle all the way down—put it out before it gets too close.
Stay safe and enjoy a bright and happy Chanukah!

Following a routine inspection conducted by the NYSDOT that revealed structural deterioration, Suffolk County will post the Smith Point Bridge with a maximum three-ton weight limit for trucks effective immediately and until further notice.

The Department of Public Works is coordinating closely with the New York State Department of Transportation to conduct a more in-depth analysis and determine all available options to safely raise the load rating.

This temporary restriction comes as Suffolk County continues its ongoing planning for the construction of a new bridge to ensure long-term safety and reliability for residents and visitors.
