NY Governor Cuomo Statement on Bethlehem Factory Fire

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo gave a statement at the Bethlehem Steel plant on November 10 about the giant fire that engulfed the building the day before and is still smoldering at the time of writing.

Cuomo praised the first responders for their quick action and assured that local and state officials were investigating health concerns from the potentially toxic smoke still coming from the building.

Multiple explosions were reported at the former Bethlehem Steel Plant in Lackawanna, New York, on November 9, causing large billows of smoke, which can be seen in this aerial footage. The fire quickly spread to three buildings connected to the plant, and nearby residents were reportedly advised to evacuate the area by police. Credit: Youtube/NYGovCuomo via Storyful
