A grass fire is reported on the north side of the Thruway by mile marker 394, in front of Area 51 Motocross Prack. East Pembroke Fire Department is responding.
UPDATE 4:58 p.m.: As firefighters discussed how best to get to the grass fire, the NY Thruway Authority notified the dispatch center that the blaze is off the Thruway and cannot be accessed by driving down Harloff Road where the motocross park is because there's a fence blocking access to the Thruway.
